"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

I didn't, because in a day, starting at 12 and ending at 12 they don't actually cross one another in my understanding of crossing. :)

There is no 11:55
If you look at Simon's answer, you see the exact times.

The answer is 10, or 11 if you count the 12:00

They start together,

They cross for the first time at 5.45 recurring mintues past 1
They cross for the second time at 10.90 recurring minutes past 2
They cross for the third time at 16.36 recurring minutes past 3
They cross for the fourth time at 21.81 recurring minutes past 4
They cross for the fifth time at 27.27 recurring minutes past 5
They cross for the sixth time at 32.72 recurring minutes past 6
They cross for the seventh time at 38.18 recurring minutes past 7
They cross for the eighth time at 43.63 recurring minutes past 8
They cross for the ninth time at 49.09 recurring minutes past 9
They cross for the tenth time at 54.54 recurring minutes past 10
They finally meet again at midnight

So they cross a total of ten times.

Easy(ish) one for you all to start the day.

How many times do the hour and minute hand cross each other
in a twelve hour period.?
