Interview Prompt
A calendar widget renders an analog clock face and needs to know how far apart the two hands sit. Given a `hour` (1 to 12) and a `minute` (0 to 59), return the smaller of the two angles in degrees between the hour and minute hands, remembering that the hour hand drifts continuously toward the next mark as the minutes pass rather than jumping on the hour.
Summary
Two hands. One gap. One number.
