The numeral'8' has the greatest number of "bars" with seven. therefore you need the max number of 8s in the time,which is two. The next highest number of bars is six,which applies to '0', '6' and'9' Only the zero can appear with the two 8s Therefore the answer is: 08:08 with a total of 26 bars. So there.
