I think it would be correct at 12(presuming they both start then), 6, 2:45 and 9:15. So i would say four.

whenever the hour and minute hand are in a straight line with each other?

What about 12 noon, Pixie?
I'm not sure about the 2.45 and 9.15 ones- does it depend on whether the fingers are both the same length (and also the hour hands are not exactly on 2 and respectively).
I'm no good at visualising these things. I need a clock to play with but I've got to go to work now. I'll look back tonight

Cloverjo

At 12 o'clock only.

pixie373

I don't think it is, ael. Because when the clockwise one is on 10 to 4, for instance, the backwards one would be on 8:10- so incorrect.

I thought it was 4 times, 12 oclock and 6 oclock

There is a lesson to be learned here. Don't buy a backwards clock.

pixie373

I did say 12, factor. 2:45 and 3;15 and 6 would be correct too.

Intuitively, that seems right to me, saintpeter but I'd need to think it through and play with a clock to be sure. It also depends on whether the hands are identical- there may be other answers if they are.
I suspect Googling the question will give you the answer
