My favorite pet math problem so far is: how many times of day are all three hands on a clock equal parts apart?

I have a close but wrong answer that is more interesting than the right answer. I wish I knew of a STEM periodical that accepted amateur articles because I want to do a write-up on this.

Depends on the clock.

(Three hand clocks can be d/h/m or h/m/s.)

I have never seen a d/h/m clock.

The differential equations would be the same, just with different coefficients.
