The answer would be 40. The hour hand would not be at the 5 exactly, it would be in between the 5 and 6. The angle between the minute and hour hand would be 30 + 20/60 * 30 so the angle would be 40 degrees ...probably shouldn't call people idiots.

clock is a circle -> 360 degrees/ 60 minutes = 6 degrees/min. @5:20 clocks hands are 5 minutes apart, therefore 30 degrees non?
