Super Member Posts: 38321 17/11/11 4:45 PM Your Teacher	Remove this ad Yes, it is 22 times. Well done Anaj. Starting at 12 midnight, they meet once every 65 minutes: (approximately) 12 am 1:05 am 2:10 am 3:16 am 4:22 am 5:27 am 6:33 am 7:38 am 8:43 am 9:48 am 10:54 am (next meeting will be at 12 noon, not 11:55) That's 11 times between midnight and noon. Change am to pm for the 11 times between noon and midnight. And midnight means the start of the next day, so we don't count that again.
