In an analog clock the digit which is the most appear is 1.

If we count the digits, the digit 1 appears 5 times, the digit 2 appears 2 times, and the rest of the digits appear exactly once.

0 appears 9 times though, right? 01, 02 ,03...

Hm, I don't know of an analog clock that shows 01. Are you thinking of digital clocks?

Let me add an image to the solution.

Can you explain why it is repeated 5 times more than any other digit? That seems really high to me.

Note that the number 2 appears twice.

That is otherwise hard to see I guess? It appears that much more just because an analog clock has 3 numbers which are 10 or higher. So each of them adds a 1

In an analog clock the digit which is the most appear is 1.

If we count the digits, the digit 1 appears 5 times, the digit 2 appears 2 times, and the other digits appear exactly one time.

in terms of 12 consecutive numbers, 1 always appear the most, as to say that its tenth row/digit is a controlled variable/numeral that goes throughout 1 --> 19
