12:12: common questions
Is 12:12 a mirror hour or a reversed hour?

Twice a day on a 12-hour clock: at 12:12 a.m., just after midnight, and at 12:12 p.m., just after noon. On a 24-hour clock it shows only once a day, after noon, because the minute after midnight reads 00:12.

12:12 is 732 minutes after midnight. 732 divided by 20 is 36 with 12 left over, so the time falls in window 37 of 72, which belongs to Aniel, the 37th angel. No other mirror or reversed hour falls in Aniel's window.
