12:19 The explanation here is correct for the first few values, but it gives the wrong idea for larger values. Exponents associate to the right. So for the expression a^b^c, you are not "first taking a^b, then taking that whole thing to the power c." Rather, you are taking b^c, then taking a to that power. In other words, a^b^c = a^(b^c), not (a^b)^c.
