Switching Hands (Posted on 2009-04-25) Difficulty: 2 of 5
It was some time between 7 and 8 PM that Sam looked at his watch. Some time later, between 10 and 11 PM, he looked again, and coincidentally, the hour hand and minute hand were exactly switched from the first time he looked. What were the two times?

                                                                                             143

                                                                                                  63
The second time he looked, the time was precisely  39------- minutes after 10 PM
                                                                                                 143
