 ==== Revolutions ====
-The hour hand makes 2 revolutions per day, while the minute hand makes 24 revolutions - so it passes the hour hand 22 times. To put it another way: during each hour the hands pass each other once, except for 11:00-12:00 and 23:00-24:00 when the minute hand "catches up" with the hour hand at the end of the hour.
