Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A nagymutató elfordulása percenként 6 fok (60 perc alatt fordul el 360 fokot), a kismutató elfordulása pedig percenként 0,5 fok (720 perc alatt fordul 360 fokot). Mivel \(\displaystyle 2022\cdot6=12\,132=33\cdot360+252\) és \(\displaystyle 2022\cdot0,5=1011=2\cdot360+291\), ezért a két mutató \(\displaystyle 291-252=39\) fokot zár be egymással.
