You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the hands coincide every hour (8:40+, 9:45+, 10:50+, etc.)with the exception of 11 o'clock
\n" ); document.write( "__ by the time the minute hand catches the hour hand during the 11th hour, it is 12:00\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so; 24 times, minus the two 11 o'clocks, is 22 times
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
