I was 57 years old when I found this out. Each number on one side added to the corresponding number on the other side always adds up to 12! Subtracting these same numbers = 6. 12-6, 11-5, 10-4, 9-3, 8-2, 7-1, 6-0...
11-1, 10-2, 9-3, 8-4, 7-5, 12 is 12 and 6 added to 6 is 12.
--->From Reditt: There's nothing special going on. You're just adding and subtracting 1 each iteration. This would work for any arbitrary n number of clock positions. 1 + (n-1), 2 + (n-2), 3 + (n-3), etc. So this is merely a consequence of how you've chosen to interpret opposing numbers.<--
