Crazy Clock

A clock's hands overlap how many times... (the counting trap).

by MindYourPuzzle

A clock has two hands both starting at 12. The minute hand makes 5 clockwise rounds while the hour hand makes 4 counterclockwise rounds — both returning to 12.

How many times do they cross (pass through each other), ignoring start and end?
