Bond Interview Question?

Saw this question and I had no idea how to answer it.
A bond with 6% coupon and 30yr term is bought with 6% YTM. After a year, one coupon payment is collected and the bond is sold with 11% YTM. Without using a calculator, what is the one year IRR of this investment?

The answer is supposed to be -40%, but no idea have to get there. Thoughts?
