why is it that clock only has 12 numbers?

because there is only 24hours a day and its easer to put 12 then 24 numbers plus 12 is half of 24 \nand there  are some watches i know that have 24 numbers instead of 12 you can buy one if u feel better with 12numbers

I forgot what the longest time from 12 was, but with USSR eased off, it should be max right now.\n\nI have not seen the clock lately either.\nLooks like 7 min till 12 is what it is on. 2006

I'm not really sure I understand your question correctly, but computers work using only two digits, 0 and 1 (sometimes referred to as 'off' and 'on', like a light bulb).  As a result of that, pretty much everything that happens inside a computer is based on 2 (= even) numbers.

You can put it as the last number, right after 2, because that would be the 13th number.\nOr it could be after the number 6. If you add all the numbers and divide by 13, you would get 6.

The prevalence of the number 12 and its multiples can be traced back to ancient days and religious beliefs. The number 12 was regarded as a spiritually "complete" number (12 Apostles, 12 Tribes of Israel, etc.).\n\nThis is why we see such a prevalence of the number in our measurement systems...\n\n   12 inches in a foot\n   12*30 = 360 degrees in a circle\n   12 hours on a clock, 12*2 = 24 hours in a day\n   12*5 = 60 minutes in an hour\n\nOne other reason may relate to simplicity of divisions. Fold a piece of paper in half, then try to fold it into fifths. It's not so easy, but if you could do it, then you would have a paper with 10 divisions. Now fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again, then fold it into thirds. This is much easier and the end result is a paper with 12 divisions.

u mean the times table? ok here's one "lazy way"\n\ntimes table 2 is easy, it's just the even number 2,4,6,8...\n\nfor 3-9 and 12: she can add the number each time. eg: 3x1=3 if u add 3 to it u'll get 6 which is 3x2. another 3 to it is 9 which is 3x3. another 3 is 12 which is 3x4...\n\nfor 10: easiest. 10,20,30,40 (just the number and a 0)\n\n11: 11,22,33,44 put the number again

Only the number 1. The rest of the buttons have letters on it (0 has OPER) and the * and # buttons are not numbers.\n(Remember everyone, this is the Riddles category!)

I think that you mean that your system clock is giving the incorrect time? If this is correct, then the chances are that all that will be required to do, is replace the CMOS battery. It's flat and about the same diameter as a nickle (5cent coin). It will located on your motherboard, and it is easy  to see. Can be bought easily in computer stores, pharmacies, and even $1 stores.

I thinkit's more the number significance than the amount.\n\n12 is a power number....

Because two times eleven is twenty too..... ? Yikes

0123456789\n6210001000\n\nHere you can see there are 6 zeros, 2 ones, 1 two, and 1 six.\n\nI suppose you were looking for something more like this though.\n1234567890\n2100010006\n\nFor those of you with the 1000.0008 solution, where is the 1 8?  I suspect that solution is incorrect.

For one, it contain all digits 0 - 9 which appears only once. They are in alphabetical order when spelt out. And it gives me two points to Yahoo! Answers.

Why would it be 11, 10, 12?  It's 0, 1, 2, not 1, 0, 2.\n\nThe second digit (the 1 in 10) is the tens place, and the first digit (the 0 in 10) is the ones place, so after 9 you have no more digits to put a higher number in the ones place, so you put a 1 in the tens place and a 0 in the ones place and get 10.  To add one to that you put a 1 in the ones place and get 11.  Thus 11 is one more than 10 so it comes after it when you arrange the numbers from smallest to largest (which is essentially what you're doing when you're counting).

I'm presently stumped.\n\nKatrina and laddi threw out numbers, but gave no indication of why.  Just guesses, I'm thinking.\n\nDanny offered a site listing some integer sequences.  The problem is that the problem, as stated, suggests only one value between 5 and 224 in this particular series.  Danny should have checked the site--this one isn't there.\n\nTriKri suggested that this is the Fibonacci sequence.  There are three problems with this answer.  First, if it was, it would have begun 1, 1, 2, ...  Since there is only one "1" at the beginning, the suggestion is that this is NOT the Fibonacci sequence.  Second, as in Danny's answer, the problem (as stated) suggests only one value between 5 and 224--not a whole string of values.  Third, the value 224 does not actually appear in the Fibonacci sequence--which TriKri should have verified before suggesting this solution.\n\nAs I say, I'm presently stumped--but the answers offered so far don't do much for me.\n\nAre we sure that 224 is the sixth value in the series?
