%N Minute with hour hand overlap problem on analog clock.
%C At which a.m. times h:m:s (with fractions of seconds) does the minute hand overlap the hour hand on an analog clock? This is Problem 43 of the quoted Loyd/Gardner book (pp. 41-42, solution pp. 180-1 in the German version).

%F a(n) gives the full minute for the (a.m.) hour h=n = 0,1,2,...,10, when the minute hand overlaps the hour hand on an analog clock, provided the second is A183032(n) + A183033(n)/11.
%F a(n)= floor((720/11)*n) (mod 60), n=0..10. See the solution in Loyd's book with (65+5/11)m = 720/11 m.
%F Note that 60/11 m = (5+5/11)m.
%F See the eleven times given in EXAMPLE.
%F a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)-a(n-3) for n=4..10. - _Colin Barker_, Aug 19 2014
%F a(n) = (-3-(-1)^n+22*n)/4 for n=1..10. - _Colin Barker_, Aug 19 2014
%e The eleven overlap times are:
%e 00:00:00 plus 0/11 s, 01:05:27 plus 3/11 s;
%e 02:10:54 plus 6/11 s, 03:16:21 plus 9/11 s,
%e 04:21:49 plus 1/11 s, 05:27:16 plus 4/11 s,
%e 06:32:43 plus 7/11 s, 07:38:10 plus 10/11 s,
%e 08:43:38 plus 2/11 s, 09:49:05 plus 5/11 s,
%e 10:54:32 plus 8/11 s.
%e The next time would be 12:00:00.
%Y Cf. A183032 (seconds). A181874.
