$\textbf{Mountain Hiker}$

John starts to hike up a mountain at $7:00$ am and reaches the top at $7:00$ pm. He stays at the top overnight. On the next day, he starts to hike down at $7:00$ am along the same route and reaches his starting point at $7:00$ pm. His speed during the two-day hiking varies from time to time. What is the probability that there exists one spot he passes at the exactly same time during the two days?
