Mr. Tick Tock’s Clocks

Hello, I am Mr. Tick Tock and this is my clock shop. It is a pleasure to meet you.

I need to fix all of these clocks today. I always fix the clocks based on the time shown. I start with 12:00 and fix the 11:30 clock last. Can you help me put these in order?

Which of these clocks is first?

Yes, 12:30, I will fix that clock first.

Which of these two clocks should I fix next?

Great! I will fix this clock second and the clock showing 2:00 third.

Here is the order I will fix these clocks in. Please help me sort the next batch.

Put your finger on the clock whose time comes first.

Is your finger on the clock showing 3:30? Which clock’s time comes next? Put your finger on that clock.

Yes! 4:00 is next.

Now I know the order to fix these three clocks.

Here is the order so far. Please help me sort one last batch.

Put one finger on the clock that comes first and two fingers on the clock that comes second.

Are your fingers where mine are?

Excellent work! This set of clocks is ready to fix.

Wow! I have a lot of work to do. Thanks for helping me put my clocks in order. I have 9 clocks to fix by the end of the day. I had better get to work!

Thanks for visiting my clock shop!
