Swapping the first letter gives a colour.

10 ?  Nev

[pmccarthy]

7, or 8 if 0 is a digit. Don’t think it is. On further thought it’s is, so 8.

[red750]

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0        ie. Nev is right,  10.

 

[pmccarthy]

Protest on the clock question! 1 appears four times. 2 appears twice. Leaving 8 that only appear exactly once.

Protest upheld.

 

There are only 10 digits, despite there being 12 numbers - 0 through 9 respectively. As two are duplicated "[o]n a standard analogue clockface..." (1 & 2), that leaves 8 digits that appear exactly once on a standard analogue clock face.. No grammatical construction of the English language, even the Aussie derivation of the English language could be taken to mean in isolation of other numbers that appear on the said analogue clock face.

 

Leave to appeal to the Grammar Police bench of the Privy Council is granted.

Well, there's an upraised digit to the brain teaser judges.

[red750]

Sorry, my mistake (Skulks away with head down). Must be old age creeping in.

 

Meanwhile, back to the countries one. 

[facthunter]

I only had a clock with Roman Numerals to look at.. Nev

[onetrack]

I've been totally digital for ages.

[facthunter]

You achieve more when you extract the digit. Nev

[spacesailor]

Totally digital. 

Your clock reads 1959 hrs, or 2359 hours .

My digital clock only reads to 1159 hrs. Then starts over, 

At exactly 1200 hrs . Miday or Midnight .

PS. : A I changed all the "hrs "to " his" . Twice
