Financial Analyst Interview - Mergers and Acquisitions
Answer: This is actually a simple question, although it can easily fool people. The answer is 7.5 degrees (there are 360 degrees in a circle, yielding 30 degrees between each hour, so the hour hand moves 7.5 degrees every fifteen minutes. At 3:15, the minute hand is on the 3, and the hour hand has moved 7.5 degrees past the 3). Some people who are too quick to give an answer might say zero, thinking that at that time, the hour hand is also on the 3, but it has moved. This was just unexpected for a real estate company; however, they did state in their job posting that they were looking for someone with a quantitative background.
