Hour hand at 6 oclock is at 180 degrees  (past 12)   then moves anothe 1/2 dgree per minute and is at

                                  180 + 50 (1/2) = 205 degrees

 

The minute hand move 6 degrees per minute past the 12 position and is at

                                     50 * 6 = 300 degrees

 

the angle between them is    300 - 205 = 95 degrees    (which is NOT an acute angle !!)
