Clock Hands Challenge

Well, this makes sense and it is a non-trivial challenge, so it's a good guess, but I still don't follow the 2-line display aspect of the challenge. An HP-42S is, but the DM42 is not (it shows up to 5), and all the other DM models are 1-line displays. And so, if the 42S was meant specifically, why not just say 42S?

Possibly the intention is to have the program OUTPUT 2 lines, 1 for 0 degrees, and 1 for 180 degrees (hence the AND)?

Anyhow, I imagine we'll know soon when RMollov visits again and clarifies the challenge.
