The hands overlap every 12/11 hour. So here are the times that they overlap:

1. midnight
2. 1 + 1/11 am
3. 2 + 2/11 am
4. 3 + 3/11 am
5. 4 + 4/11 am
6. 5 + 5/11 am
7. 6 + 6/11 am
8. 7 + 7/11 am
9. 8 + 8/11 am
10. 9 + 9/11 am
11. 10 + 10/11 am
12. noon
13. 1 + 1/11 pm
14. 2 + 2/11 pm
15. 3 + 3/11 pm
16. 4 + 4/11 pm
17. 5 + 5/11 pm
18. 6 + 6/11 pm
19. 7 + 7/11 pm
20. 8 + 8/11 pm
21. 9 + 9/11 pm
22. 10 + 10/11 pm

If midnight is considered part of both days, then the answer is 23 times.Otherwise the answer is 22 times.

My answer might be a couple of years late, but I believe the answer is one for each minute, minus one, the cause the end of the cycle is also the beginning of a new one. So ( 60 min * 24 hrs ) - 1 = 1439.
