An ordinary analog clock has an hour hand and a minute hand that both move smoothly. At certain moments, if you swapped the two hands, the clock would still show a genuine time. Counting from 12:0012{:}00 noon up to (but not including) 12:0012{:}00 midnight, at how many moments is this true while the two hands point in different directions?
