Hi:
Once I read a comment in which one friend was happy because he was the first one to have posted the first comment.
So this tricky teaser was a good chance for me to be the starter.
BY the way it was very hard for me.

Difficult, but VERY creative.
I didn't get it, but I liked it a lot.

i don't find it creative at all, seeing as how wherever you got this teaser from had something to do with Neopets.com...it was the brainteaser of the week some number of weeks ago...
lol I just wanted to bring it to the site...
darn my digital watch...no help at all.
lol
i liked it! it wsa fun, and challenging!
I still don't get it but man it was very creative! it had me thinking for like 10 minutes doin a bunch of math! lol So did we even need a calculator?? lol It was good tho but still who actually got that??
i liked it and it was VERY challenging to me
wow, i would have never thought of that! good one.
Lots of fun. I recognized what the artist was doing. I did not, however, expect his work to be so precise. I should have paid closer attention to the "Number 315" painting hung at 7:30. Very nice.
very creative, liked it alot,,,no i didnt get it but sorry im not
i didn't get it but the teaser was great and fun!
I was thinking along the lines of: every minute, the painting number increases by 0.7 so in 210 minutes it would be...392. Ah well, wrong again.
Nice one! Even nicer, cos I actually got it!
Hard and fun!
Nice teaser!
It's not the angle between the hour and minute hand (as that description either describes two angles or describes the small er of the two angles depending on interpretation.) It is the clockwise angle from the hour hand to the minute hand.

Fun teaser. Nice combination of geometry and pattern recognition. Loved it.
