Time Flies Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)

There's been a proliferation of enjoyable puzzle caches recently, so we thought we'd have a go too. So here is Sog n Paulus' first puzzle cache...

The cache is not at the listed coords.

To find the correct coords, you must answer a simple question.
What time is it when the hands of a clock are 102 degrees apart?
Assume each hand of the clock is pointing exactly at a minute, not in between and ignore the second hand.
Use a standard 12 hour clock.

The answer takes the form ab:cd. That is, if the answer was 8:31 (it's not, by the way), then a=0, b=8, c=3 and d=1.

The cache is at S 42 52.36d E 147 19.bcb

There are actually TWO answers. After calculating the coords, you will find they lie in close proximity, however, one is more likely than the other.
