Imagine a digital clock like the one shown below. How many times will the clock display three or more of the same number in a row over the course of one day?

In case you were wondering, the clock in this puzzle displays time on a 12-hour scale, not on military time.

I don't understand.
K.m

>>37351981
Twice? During the 11:1-?

I don't know, man. I can't be bothered. Just give the actual answer.
>>
>>37351981
16 times in a 24 hour period
>>
Shoul be 8. 1:11 to 5:55, then 11:10, 11:11 and 12:22.
>>
In a row? 11:10, 11:11, 11:12, 11:13, 11:14, 11:15, 11:16, 11:17, 11:18, 11:19

Incorrect. Give it another shot!

Are you sure you haven't forgotten a few possible combinations?
>>
>>37352089
>>37352116
Shit, you're right, forgot to double that
>>
12 hours in whole day, 6 hours each half day.
00:00
01:11
...
05:55

Six.
>>
>>37352138
34 times

I played too much Layton as a kid
>>
>>37352130
>>37352141
Aaand I also forgot those, man I'm bad at this.
So 16*2=32?
>>
34 times, you jabronis
>>
01:11, 02:22, 03:33, 04:44, 05:55, 10:00, 11:10, 11:11, 12:22. I count nine (9) times
>>
>>37351981
When it says "in a row", what does it mean?

There's a couple of ways to take that, and one of those ways dramatically limits the number.
>>
>>37352194
In a row, like 1:11, 2:22, etc.
>>
>>37352183
Wait, i'm still missing 00:00 to 00:09.
Adding those it's 26*2=52
>>
>>37352240
This is not a military time clock, retard
>>
Fuck i can hear the theme in my head
>>
>>37352250
Yeah, but in 24 hours all combinations appear twice.
00:00 to 00:09=10
11:10 to 11:19=10
then 01:11 to 05:55 and 10:00=6
does 12:22 appear or is it 02:22 again?

this is a good thread, I hope you have a good day 7 days in a row op
>>
There are a total of 17 of such combinations in a 12-hour period: 12:22, 01:11, 02:22, 03:33, 04:44, 05:55, 10:00, 11:10, 11:11, 11:12, 11:13, 11:14, 11:15, 11:16, 11:17, 11:18, 11:19. Multiply 17 by 2 = 34.
>>
>>37352716
Thank you. I like posting Layton riddles, they get a good discussion going.
>>
>>37351981
All the hours from 1:11 to 11:11 excluding 10:00 and 11:10
>>
The correct answer is zero.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

>>37352432
There's no 00:00-00:59 in 12-hour clocks. Instead, 12:00-12:59 appear twice in 24 hours.
