Clock Hands Challenge

The peculiar thing happens between 5 and 6 o'clock when the order of the 0° and the 180° event changes.

Examples:

5
XEQ "CLOCK"
y: 6.0000
x: 5.2716

6
XEQ "CLOCK"
y: 6.0000
x: 6.3244

Until 5 the 0° event happens before the 180° event.
From 6 on the 0° event happens after the 180° event.

This makes the calculation of these events "past given hour" somewhat complicated.
