I will start the day at 1 AM
\n" ); document.write( "The clock chimes \"+2%2A1+=+2+\" times
\n" ); document.write( "The number of on the hour chimes are:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A1+%2B+2%2A2+%2B+2%2A3+%2B+2%2A4+\" . . . to \"+2%2A24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A%28+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+%2B+4+%29+\" etc.
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the sum of digits 1 through n is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F2%29%2An%2A+%28n%2B1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "When \"+n+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Twice the sum = \"+2%2A%281%2F2%29%2A24%2A25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24%2A25+=+600+\"
\n" ); document.write( "3 chimes each half hour, from 1:30 AM to 11:30 PM is \"+23+\" chimes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+23%2A3+=+69+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Total = \"+600+%2B+69+=+669+\" answer
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it
\n" ); document.write( "
