The “How many numbers are on a clock?” riddle
Here’s how it goes: “How many numbers are on a clock?” That’s it. That’s the whole thing. All that’s left is to do the math. When we said it was simple, we weren’t kidding.
The hint
We actually already gave you the hint when we said all that’s left is to “do the math.”
The answer
There are 15 numbers on a clock. These are, in clockwise order starting right at the top: 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 0, 1 and 1.
Strictly speaking, in the math universe, there are really only 10 “numbers.” These are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. Together, these combine to form an infinite array of numerical figures. On a clock, what we read as 10, 11 and 12 are actually three numerical figures comprised of two numbers each. In other words, while the hours of a clock are depicted as being 1 through 12, the actual amount of numbers on a clock total 15.
