Solving the “Time Trick” Riddle

⚠️ The Riddle:

A man looks at a clock showing 3:15 and says,

“The hour and minute hands form a perfect right angle.”

Is he correct?

🧩 Answer?

Nope. Not even close.

💡 Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

At exactly 3:15, the minute hand is on the 3 — but the hour hand isn’t on 3 anymore.

It’s moved a quarter of the way toward 4.

Which means they’re about 7.5 degrees off from a perfect right angle.

It’s geometry’s way of saying, “Nice try, buddy.”

🌱 Real-Life Lesson?

Just because something looks right doesn’t mean it is.

Like when you confidently wave at someone who wasn’t waving at you.

Oops.

Sometimes accuracy hides in the details — not the first glance. 😅⌚
