- How Many Minutes Passed?
How many minutes have passed is the question. Even where the hour changes, nothing but a count of minutes appears in the answer, so following how far the hand has swung is enough. Clock pictures and plain words both occur, and steps of five minutes and of one minute are set as word problems.

Trouble arrives at the moment the hand passes twelve. When the minute figure drops from a large one to a small one, the full turn of sixty minutes goes unaccounted for and the answer comes out shorter than it should. With small finishing minutes, counting first to the next whole hour and adding on from there gets it right.
The lead passes from the short hand to the long one, but setting two times against each other works just as it did in How Many Hours Passed?. In How Many Hours and Minutes? the two hands travel together.
