I don't get it
The numbers are sorted by their English spellings.
Is it a meme or a riddle?
Just a silly joke, I guess.
What?
Two, Eight, Eleven, — not gonna type it all out because it’s already wrong.
What am I missing here?
I was equally confused initially, but then I looked at the clock in my house and realized that the number up top is the highest number, 12, and not 0. So the first number in the ordering is at the position of the 1 of a normal clock.
If it makes you feel better I did the same lol
You're missing the lack of logic, aka you're not missing shit, OP has some soul searching to do.
What lack of logic? The numbers on the clock are sorted based on the alphabetical order when they're spelled out in English. Just like with a real clock, the top number is the highest, not the lowest. That seems quite logical to me
"Two" is the last one. The order starts with "eight".
Think about it: on a real analogue clock, where is the smallest number and where is the largest?
Thank you, I was so confused and stuck lol. I always just treated the top as the starting spot because the days starts at 12:00 AM. That’s what I get for trying to think through this well past my bedtime 🤣
