10 times.
The hands don't cross between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock, then they cross at some time during every hour from 1 o'clock until 11 o'clock (10 times over 10 hours), then the hands don't cross again until the hour hand comes back around to 12 o'clock again.

In 24 hour duration, hour & minuted hands each other by 23 times. And cycle repeats itself for next day and so on.
Start from 12:05 Noon till Next 12:05 noon. There will be 23 times HH & MM will meet each other.

once every hour, so between noon and midnight would be 11 times
