integral in terms of minutes or hours?...

For example at 11:00 the hands are either 1hour apart (in terms of hours) or 5 minutes apart (in terms of minutes)

Good question though....

Looks too simple to me or maybe I am missing something.. .. in terms of the answer..

well, there are 5 integral divisions between 11 and 12.. so at only these divisions would you get an integer difference..
values are:
11:00, 11:12, 11:24,11:36,11:48 and 12:00

if we dont include 11 then the answer seems 5 else it seems 6 to me..

thoughts?
