What is wrong* with all these folks putting December at the top? Clearly it should be January at the top, then clockwise.

* I know.

Mapping the months to numbers, January is 1 and December is 12, and a real clock puts 12/0 on top, not 1.

The year starts a January, but the day starts at 12. I think December should be 11 and January 12.

It makes more sense if you count both from zero. 12 is 0, January is 0.
