How many times are the hands of a clock at right angles in 24 hours?
Answer: B
In each twelve-hour period the hands are at right angles 22 times - twice in most hours, but the crossings near 3 and 9 o'clock overlap so that two are lost.
\[ 22 \times 2 = 44 \text{ times in 24 hours} \]
The count is not 48, because between 2–3 and 3–4 (and again around 9) one right angle is shared rather than occurring twice.
