  Alright, this was a submission from a contributor. This one is messing with my brain because the words can have different meanings. The answer I was given was 42. How the contributor came to this answer I do not understand. It is 34 minutes from 9:22 to 9:56 (minute hand just past 11). I like Cerberus’s answer the best after considering the variables and what 22 means. It could be just 61 minutes to get you from 10:00PM (22:00) to 11:01PM (past eleven). Or perhaps 781 minutes from 22:00 to 11:01. Anyway sorry for the confusion, but it was still fun to ponder. Everyone is a winner for taking the time to think.
