There is one word missing (in the brackets)
I think it is meant to be 8+2=10 ?
You can answer some questions for me:
1) If there was no extra chimes on the hour, how many chimes are there for every hour?
2) How many chimes in 24 hours (without the extra ones) ?
3) If there is one extra at 1 oclock and 2 extra at 2 oclock ...... up to 12 extra at 12oclok. How many extra is that in 12 hours?
4) How many extra is that in 24 hours.?
5) So how many times did the chime strick in 24 hours?
Please no ne except Evan answer (unless you see an error in my logic)
Evan, please answer the questions one at a time so I can follow your logic.
