ANSWER: 22
The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once, i.e., at 12 o'clock).
| AM | 12.00 | 1.05 | 2.11 | 3.16 | 4.22 | 5.27 | 6.33 | 7.38 | 8.44 | 9.49 | 10.55 |
| PM | 12.00 | 1.05 | 2.11 | 3.16 | 4.22 | 5.27 | 6.33 | 7.38 | 8.44 | 9.49 | 10.55 |
