In this, the minute hand will have to gain (20-2) i.e 18 minute spaces. Now, we know that 18 minute spaces will be gained in 18 × 12/11 = 216/11=19 7/11 minute.

REMINISCING (Column)
At 10-2 and 4 O’Clock, It Was Dr. Pepper Time
ByROGER M. GRACE
I’vecome across an ad for a Dr Pepper contest. To have a chance at winning $5,000tax free, the ad says, an entrant simply has to supply the second line for thiscouplet:
Incase you’re thinking of rushing to get your submission in, sorry, you muffedthe deadline. It was midnight,July 31, 1951.
Amore recent Dr Pepper contest had a May 22, 1965 deadline. The first prize wasdescribed thusly:
“Twofun-filled weeks in scenic Switzerland(TIME capital of the world), a car clock (installed in a 1965 Mustang), His andHer Longine watches—and—$10.24 an hour, 24 hours a day for 14 days….”
Thecontest placed an accent on time, an ad explained, “because we’ve clocked ‘10,’‘2’ and ‘4’ as traditional Dr Pepper times.” The sum of $10.24 was arrived at,it was spelled out, was “[t]o remind you of10, 2 and 4—what else!”
Ifyou’re my vintage, or older, or just a bit younger, Dr Pepper’s tie to thenumerals “10, 2 and 4” is no mystery. I strongly suspect, however, that if mydaughter were to read the foregoing, it would make absolutely no sense to her.
The significanceof the numerals to the popularfruit-based soft drink is explained on the website of the oldest bottler of Dr.Pepper (in Dublin, Texas)as follows:
“Itwas in the 1920s that Dr. Walter Eddy at ColumbiaUniversitystudied the body’s metabolism. He discovered that a natural drop in energyoccurs about 10:30 a.m.,2:30 p.m.and 4:30 p.m. But he also discovered that if the people in his research study had somethingto eat or drink at 10, 2 and 4, the energy slump could be avoided.
“AfterDr. Eddy’s research findings were released, Dr Pepper challenged itsadvertising agency to come up with a theme which would suggest that Dr Peppershould be that 10, 2 and 4 drink which would keep the energy level up. Theresult was one of the most enduring of Dr Pepper’s advertising themes: Drink abite to eat at 10, 2 and 4.”
Promotionsfor Dr. Pepper centered on those numbers. For example, an ad in the Dothan(Ala.)Eagle on July 26, 1934 announced that on Saturday, the local movie theaterwould interrupt the film at 10 a.m.,2 p.m.and 4 p.m.to serve complimentary bottles of Dr. Pepper (which back then, was spelled witha period after “Dr.”).
Therewas even a syndicated radio show during World War II called “The 10-2-4 Ranch”(later, “10-2-4 Time”), aired in the South and other areas to which Dr.Pepper’s distribution had extended. The show featured the Sons of the Pioneers(associated with Roy Rogers) and, for most of its run, Dick Foran. (Foran in1935 had emerged as the original“singing cowboy,” beating Gene Autry to the designation by a matter of weeks.)
The Dr. Pepper Company pushed thenotion that ingestion of sugar at 10, 2 and 4 was actually something healthful.And, of course, parents would want their children to engage in healthfulpractices.
Inthese days when there’s a push to rid school cafeterias and vending machines ofsugar-based products and those high in carbohydrates (which turn into sugar),it’s hard to imagine an ad like the one appearing in the Sept. 23, 1930edition of the Port Arthur (Texas) News. Image making software windows 7. It was headed, “One Healthful form ofNecessary Nourishment that kids need no coaxing to drink,” and said:
“Little‘Human dynamos’ run out of ‘juice’ between meals. That’s why they tease forsweets. Sugar is the quickest energy food and Mother Nature knows it. Sheprompts the appetite. It’s as natural as hunger can be.
“Ifyour kiddies crave sugar, give them as much as they want..but in a form thatcan’t be abused. Dr. Pepper contains fruit juice for flavor and health…puresugar for quick-energy supply..and sparkling water for bulk and thirst. No taxon digestion. No ingredients that can possibly harm. The small proportions ofsugar to water is a safety-valve against excess.”
An article appearing July 10, 1977in the Elyria, OhioChronicle Telegram reflected that “[a]lthough the use of the 10-2-4 set ofnumbers was discontinued on company bottles several years ago, old advertisingsigns and painted barns throughout the South still display those numerals.”
Thearticle noted that the intent behind the slogan—to encourage a boost in bloodsugar level at 10, 2, and 4—“got lost and thousands of mothers and grandmothersin the South, to this day, believe that the drinking times are meant to achieveregularity.”

It quoted the company president as assuring that, contrary to rumor,prune juice was not a Dr Pepper ingredient.
