From 12:05 to 1:05 the clock chimes:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+%2B+4+%2B+6+%2B+8+=+20+\" plus zero for the hour
\n" ); document.write( "From 1:05 to 2:05 the clock chimes:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20+\" plus \"+1+\" for the hour
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "In a \"+24+\" hr period, it chimes:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24%2A20+=+480+\" plus
\n" ); document.write( "2*( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 11 )
\n" ); document.write( "This is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+480+%2B+2%2A%28+n+%29%2A%28+n%2B+1+%29+%2F+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where \"+n+=+11+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+480+%2B+%28+2%2A11%2A12+%29+%2F+2+=+480+%2B+132+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+480+%2B+132+=+612+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The clock chimes 612 times in 24 hours
