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. 5. 120 ?

10/10 for perseverance, oldbroad, but still a "no". You'll kick yourself when the penny drops  And Jacque Cousteau's boat too, michele!  Close, Bernie!
