Answer 5

sometimes clock math means knowing that when you exceed 12, you just wrap around...

So 8 + 6 = 14.... oops, that should be just "2" and so on

Answer 6

thats what I think too but the answer has to be 3,4,5,or 6

Answer 7

So 4 x 8 = 32.... 32 is 2 laps around a 12-hour clock, with remainder 8.

Then 11 x 8 = 88, which is 7 laps around (7*12 = 84) with remainder 4.

So the answer would be 4.

Answer 8

that's makes sense thank's

Answer 9

It should probably work too if you just multiply it all out first, then do the clock process at the end. But I haven't tried that...
