The "hours" spacing is a bit off discuss order hn newest franze|18 days ago interesting question, near perfect triangles 07:18:18 16:41:41 09:23:23 but non of them are mathematically perfect triangles.well 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 arefor a perfect triangle all three hands need equal distance from center. hours range 0 to 23, minutes and seconds 0 to 59, so you needh(divided by) 23 to equalm(divided by) 59 to equals(divided by) 59.since 23 and 59 are both prime, bad luck.

well 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 are
for a perfect triangle all three hands need equal distance from center. hours range 0 to 23, minutes and seconds 0 to 59, so you need
h(divided by) 23 to equal
m(divided by) 59 to equal
s(divided by) 59.
since 23 and 59 are both prime, bad luck.
