Clock: A watch reads 7.30. If the minute hand points West, then in which direction will the hour hand point?

At 7:30, the minute hand is on the 6 (pointing down), but here it is given that the minute hand points West. Since the minute hand normally points South at 30 minutes, if it points West instead, the clock is effectively rotated 90 degrees clockwise (because South moves to West).

The hour hand at 7:30 normally points halfway between 7 and 8, which is slightly south-westward. After rotating 90 degrees clockwise, this direction shifts to North West.
