Problem 5.3. A cuckoo clock is hanging on the wall. When a new hour begins, the cuckoo says "cuckoo" a number of times equal to the number the hour hand points to (for example, at 19:00, "cuckoo" sounds 7 times). One morning, Maxim approached the clock when it was 9:05. He started turning the minute hand until he advanced the clock by 7 hours. How many times did "cuckoo" sound during this time?

Answer: 43.

Solution. The cuckoo will say "cuckoo" from 9:05 to 16:05. At 10:00 it will say "cuckoo" 10 times, at 11:00 - 11 times, at 12:00 - 12 times. At 13:00 (when the hand points to the number 1) "cuckoo" will sound 1 time. Similarly, at 14:00 - 2 times, at 15:00 - 3 times, at 16:00 - 4 times. In total

10+11+12+1+2+3+4=43
