Anyone got a spanner with 3/11 on it?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Well done Alan B!!! 
The answer is five minutes and 27.27r seconds past one
In a 12 hour period the hour hand aligns with the minute hand 11 times. So the interval is 12 hours divided by 11.
Fancy another?

If I had a brain that could be teased, it would be an advantage

Using the general procedure:
x = 2.2727..
100x = 227.2727..
99x = 100x - x = 225
x = 225 / 99
x = (3x3x5x5) / (3x3x11)
x = 25 / 11
Also:
x = (22+3) / 11 = 2 + 3/11 as pointed out by "I love speed"
