🕰️ Watch Time Loss 🤔
Normally, the minute and hour hands of a watch coincide every 65.4545 minutes (12 hours / 11).
Since this watch’s hands coincide every 64 minutes, it loses:
65.4545 minutes – 64 minutes = 1.4545 minutes per coincidence
To find the loss per day:
1.4545 minutes/coincidence × (24 hours / 64 minutes) = 1.4545 × 22.5 ≈ 32.7 minutes
🎉 The watch loses approximately 32.7 minutes per day. 🕰️
