LED Ring Real Time Clock

/*

  Clock using 12 LEDs

 In this example 12 LEDs are used to show current time.  
 12 LEDs are connected in circualr pattern. All 12 LEDs represent 
 number 1 to 12 of clock respectively. Depending upon the current 
 time, LED of that position will glow.
 If current time is 4:15 then 4th and 3rd LED will glow.
 4th LED will indicate hour and 3rd LED will indicate minutes.
 LED which shows hours will glow conitinuously. 
 LED which shows minutes will blink with delay of 1 second.
