2. The real question is why is 12, the highest number, considered the first?

I used to wonder this also, but if you look at 24 hour time it makes more sense. As when it hits midnight, you go back to 00, not to 24. So when you go to 12, it is really zero, and you are counting upwards from there. 12:01, 12:02 .... 12:59, etc. Although I guess that still does't make sense as to why they don't just make it zero once it gets to 12:01. LOL
