+## Hints
+
+To complete this exercise you need to define the data type `Clock`,
+with `Eq`, `Show` and `Num` instances, and implement the functions:
+
+- clockHour
+- clockMin
+- fromHourMin
+- toString
+
+The function `fromInteger`, from `Num`, must convert minutes
+to 24 hour clock time. It is not necessary to have a sensible
+implementation of `abs` or `signum`.
+
+Your can use the provided signatures if you are unsure about the types, but
+don't let them restrict your creativity.
