When Yom kippur màariv starts late. Say 72. And màariv motzei Yom kippur starts early. Say 50 minutes


ok. Thats good. And I suppose we can say the previous answer, if someone says mincha very close to shkiah and starts ne'ila as soon as possible it could be in 24 hours.

The official answer to this is if someone forgot to say mincha on erev yom kippur, he has to repeat maariv twice. So there's two maarivs, then shacharis, mussaf, mincha and ne'ila.

1. correct! (though I would argue that perhaps Hashem was the first shadchan in introducing Chava to Adam.)
2. This is partially correct.
The mincha of erev Yom Kippur would not be in the same 24 hour period as Ne'ila.


Chassidim might daven Mincha in the same 24 hours.
Unless slichos is said y"k morning, or if you count Mariv that needs to be said before being able to eat.

Ok, so I have a slightly different answer., but it could be yours is also correct. Why would it be sometimes 11 and sometimes 12?

I was thinking it had something to do with Rosh Chodesh or Rosh Chodesh benching, since we acknowledge Rosh Chodesh 11 times in a regular year and 12 times in a leap year.

Exactly. On rosh chodesh tishrei we don't say this brocha, and in a leap year we do get to say it 12 times.
