Interview Prompt

A calendar widget renders an analog clock face and needs to know how far apart the two hands sit. Given an `hour` (1 to 12) and a `minute` (0 to 59), return the angle in degrees between the hour and minute hands.

Summary

Two hands. One gap. One number.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
