In the Art Gallery is a new conceptual art piece. The artist created a huge pile different paintings; periodically he picks up one of the paintings and hangs it on the wall, and adjusts it.

At 11:00, the painting titled "Number 30" was hung.

At 4:00, the painting titled "Number 240" was hung.

At 7:30, the painting titled "Number 315" was hung.

What painting will the artist hang on the wall at 9:20?

can i get a confirmation with someone?

So, is it math-related or "somewhere on the site"-related? Because when it's math I usually don't even bother. ;)

I'm trying the math angle on it ... nothing yet, though.

Edit: I think I found the best angle at which to approach the problem, but it is still sort of tricky.
I hope you digital people aren't completely lost. ;)

Heeee. Excellent hint, and one even a terrible-at-math person like me can (kind of) understand. ;)

Whoa, wait, so it's already solved?

Could I possibly confirm with someone?

Digital Watches? Calculators X_X

Confuzzled.

I've got it, but I think there's a typo on the third line.

That was the worst pun I've ever heard.

Now I pray to any number of various gods that they guide fortune from their large hand to my small one. I need a trophy, darn it.

I definitely think this is a big problem and not a small one. And I think it's High Time that I actually get an answer in time for the trophy or avatar. I just want to get credit for knowing the answer! That's all! (Although the handful of neopoints doesn't hurt, either.)
