    If they're overlapping at the start time and the finish time it's 1 + 24...

    the hands overlap every 65 minutes
    So 24 x60 = 1440 minutes in a day
    divide by 65
    =22

    Within the 24 hours it is 23 times, once at 00.00, finally at 24.00, and 21 times in between

    We have a winner!

    The times are: 12:00, 1:05, 2:11, 3:16, 4:22, 5:27, 6:33, 7:38, 8:44, 9:49, 10:55, both AM and PM

    It's not 23, because 12:00 midnight and the following 12:00 midnight are different 24 hour periods.

    Beth - your turn!

    Elon Musk - he wanted to get it fully working as a sub, but has so far failed.

    Correct Steelmonkey. We Nellie is the submarine car from The Bond film Spy who loved me.

    The car was put in storage for 10 years and was bought unseen as a job lot for $100.

    It was eventually put into a specified "Bond Auction" where Musk bought it for £0.5 million and plans to make it into a submarine car.

    As an aside Elon Musk, who is something of a twat but quite amusing, has just pulled a brilliant trick on some ‘investors’ in his company who were essentially gambling on him failing and selling short. He has claimed to have raised $70bn to buy back the company and take it off the stock market. Shares rose 11% and the short sellers were stuffed.
