Several clocks lie on the table. It is known that at some moment the sum of distances between a point $X$ of the table and the ends of their minute hands is not equal to the sum of distances between $X$ and the ends of their hour hands. Prove that there is a moment when the sum of distances between $X$ and the ends of their minute hands is greater than the sum of distances between $X$ and the ends of their hour hands. (E.
