About this blog

This is a gameblog following my progress through the Nintendo DS game, Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute. Mostly I'm transcribing puzzles so I can use machine translation (Google Translate) to help me better comprehend what the puzzles are actually asking.

1:11 consecutive numbers along the same time as three one-minute, 24 hours It's just one of many. In, the time of its greatest angle of Hakatta until the minute hand clockwise from the hour hand, minute what time is it? I want answers to three times the number aligned one. However, except for 0:00.

Notes on Puzzle
You need an analog clock for this puzzle. You need to figure out what time gives the greatest angle between the long (minute) and short (hour) hands of a clock. The restriction is that three numbers must be the same and consecutive, ie 1:11 or 2:22.
Note that Japan uses 24 hour notation, so times like 13:33 are also valid.
