Problem

You're rendering an analog clock widget and need the angle between its two hands. Given `hour` (0-23) and `minute` (0-59), return the smaller angle in degrees between the hour and minute hands on a 12-hour dial, where the hour hand advances smoothly as the minutes pass rather than jumping on the hour.

Summary

Two hands on a clock: how wide is the gap?
