Question

Jack dances clockwise around the Maypole, making one revolution every five seconds.

Starting from a point diametrically opposite Jack's starting point, Jill dances anticlockwise, making one revolution every six seconds.


How many times do they pass each other in the first minute?

​

Answer 1

12 times. one min is 60 seconds. Jill went around 10 times. Jack 12 times. However Jack still passed Jill during his 12 revolutions. Her number is insignificant after you know who made more revolutions per min
