And by "exact", I mean exact, on an analog clock. No nitpicking... assume the hands are one-dimensional lines, perfect circular motion, yada yada. The answers are NOT 1:05, 2:10, etc. because the hour hand does move slightly as the minute hand moves toward the :05, :10, etc. marks.
Express your answer in any notation you would like, using any numerical form, e.g. fractions, irrational numbers, series, summations, etc. as long as the answer is exact. The best answer will be that which is (a) correct, duh, (b) the most simple expression, and (c) provides a good explanation of why it is correct, in that order.
Hint: The answer is a lot more simple than most people realize at first.
