18. 6h:20m:15.75s
How the fuck did you come up with that ? If the spider meets the minute hand for the second time 20 minutes after the first meeting, that means it meets the first time after 15.75 seconds ? |

The clue is in the scarves...
That's how I got that. I don't think the likeness is particularly good personally! |

I'm sure you're right, I was just guessing. |

Agree! The LVG one looks more like 'Arry Redknapp. |

Spider starts at the hour hand (6), halfway around the clock (or 30 seconds). The clock has to be 3 seconds a minute quicker than the spider to catch up in 20 minutes (3 x 20 = 1 complete minute). The gap between the clock and spider is 1.5 seconds over 30 seconds, so the clock is 15.75 seconds to the spiders 14.25 seconds (therefore they first meet at 15.75 seconds after six (based on time), simply add 20 minutes. |

Read the question again. The spider travels anti-clockwise first, then turns round. And we're talking about the minute hand, not the second hand. |

My calculations are correct based on the second hand (anticlockwise first), but yes I have misread it.

18. If they meet for the 2nd time 20 minutes after the first meeting and they are now travelling in the same direction, it means the spider needs to travel 80 minutes (ie go all the way round the clock before catching up the minute hand) while the minute hand travels 20 minutes. So it is travelling at 4 times the speed of the minute hand. Therefore the first meeting is at 18:06 (spider travels 24, minute hand 6), then the 2nd meeting is 18:26 (spider goes all the way around, travelling 80 while the minute hand travles 20)
