On a clock or watch, how often do the hour and minute hands align?

Just a fun quick quiz to test your horological IQ. No Googling, and if you know the answer, don't shout it out, because others near you may be taking the quiz.

I noticed that too. Tudor lovers just vote and run away😂

It took me a moment to understand the observer concept. I guess a simpler approach would be to keep everything in terms of minutes.  Each time the minute hand moves 60 minutes, the hour hand only moves 5, so the relative difference between the two hands per hour is 55 minutes.  60 / 55 x 60  =  65.454545454545

Yep, as far as I'm aware, that's correct. Essentially the same as answer C.

I didn't actually intend to round off. I used Excel as my calculator, and didn't realize until after the first post that there were additional trailing digits omitted by number formatting. To me the concept is more interesting than the precise number.

I'm glad I didn't see that explanation first! Translating to degrees seems like an unnecessary step. But math was never my strong suit.

OK, for those crunchers who own automatic watches (which I assume to be a fair share of WC members), I’d like to know how many of you regularly use an automatic winder? To clarify the last poll option...
