Explanation / Answer

If we used 1 thru 12 then we would never be able to get the numbers 10, 11, or 12, because once we read '1' we would count it as '1' and move to the next number.  So, by using 01 thru 12 we only count '01' as the number 1 and can therefore still obtain the numbers 10, 11, and 12.
