Question:

DIRECTIONS: Refer to the following information for the following questions.

It is a game based on the position you take in a clock. You are at the 1 O’clock position. You can move one step clockwise, 1 step anti clockwise or to a place that is diametrically opposite yours. For example, from 1 O’clock if you move clockwise you will be at 2 O’clock. As you start the game, you are at 1 O’clock position and your score is 1. If you move a step clockwise, add the value of the time in that position to your score to give you the new score. If you move a step anticlockwise, add the value of the time in that position and subtract 2 from your score. If you move a step diametrically opposite, add the value of the time in that position to your score and subtract 4 from your score to get the new score. You cannot get back to a position that you have already visited.
