2. Statler and Waldorf in The Muppets

Two of my role models, flotsam

Don't give up, oldbroad. They both start together at 12:00, the minute hand goes racing ahead, and roughly how long is it before they're on top of one another again?

I was thinking they are on top of each other every minute because the hour hand also moves along. (I mis-calculated that theory on my first attempt.) My brain can't think past that.

Alright one more try.
