As usual, the "best answer" is actually incorrect. The answer is 12 - but they wouldn't cross each other "once every hour". If they first cross is at 12 o'clock, the second cross would be 13:05, the third cross would be 14:10 etc. - not once every hour.

It could be four times per day: 9 AM, 9 PM, 3 AM, and 3 PM. Note: The question as stated is false and would likely cause controversy if it was on an important exam.
