The above clock face indicates a little before 42 minutes past 4. The
hands will again point at exactly the same spots a little after 23
minutes past 8. In fact, the hands will have changed places. How many
times do the hands of a clock change places between three o'clock p.m.
and midnight? And out of all the pairs of times indicated by these
changes, what is the exact time when the minute hand will be nearest to
the point IX?
