04:44 05:55 11:11
12:22 10:00 11:10
1:12 11:13 11:14
11:15 11:16 11:17
11:18 1:19

12:11 doesn't have the same number 3 times in a row......
16...
1:11
2:22
3:33
4:44
5:55
10:00
11:10
12:22
Which is 8 different ways, multiply by 2 (for a 24 hour day) and we have 16...
And posting this before reading (as not to get the answer), looks like I missed a few...
