There are three pulleys connected to one another. The one on the left has a radius of 8, has number 1,2,3,4 marked clock-wise (arrow is pointing at 0). The one on the right has radius of 12 and has 1,2,3,4 marked clock-wise (again, arrow pointing to 0). The one at the bottom is a pulley with a radius of 4. If the bottom pulley turns 1&1/2 times anti-clockwise, what is the sum of the numbers that the arrows of the two pulleys on the upper part of the figure would be pointing at after 1&1/2 turns?
