One the Planet, Oz, there are 8 days in a week – Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hours has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec.

Solution
First, let's understand the clock on the planet Oz. It has 36 hours in a day, and each hour has 90 minutes. This means that the clock on Oz has 36*90 = 3240 minutes in a day.
The hour hand covers the dial twice every day, which means it moves 720 degrees in a day. Therefore, the speed of the hour hand is 720/3240 = 0.2222 degrees per minute.
The minute hand covers the dial 362 = 72 times every day, which means it moves 72360 = 25920 degrees in a day. Therefore, the speed of the minute hand is 25920/3240 = 8 degrees per minute.
At 14.40, the hour hand has moved 14.40*0.2222 = 3.2 degrees.
The minute hand has moved 40*8 = 320 degrees.
Therefore, the angle between the hands of the clock on Oz when the time is 14.40 is approximately 320 - 3.2 = 316.8 degrees. However, the angle between the hands of a clock is always considered the smaller angle, so we subtract this from 360, giving us 360 - 316.8 = 43.2 degrees.
