I gotta' agree with you, SKM. While Jesus is correct that the hands don't exactly align at 1:05, and the other times you've indicated, they do overlap at some point very close to that time, so that would qualify. I spent WAY too much time yesterday on the net trying to determine how the "10 not 11" answer came from, but was unable to find an explanation. The site I harvested the question from had no analysis. I'm with you, Char, and apologize for the misinformation and sloppy editorial practices on my part. Guess I'll just have to sit me down and give me a good talking to. (It'll likely happen again though. I'm a terrible listener, and largely untrainable, or so Mrs. B tells me.)
