2/4 time signature, miscounting?
I'm trying to to practice my 2/4 time signature. Am I just making a stupid mistake with the attached image? They are 1/16th notes? so shouldn't there only be 8 of them to make up two beats and not 12? I am pretty out of practice, so am sure it is just me!

Each of the four groups of 3 sixteenth notes has a "3" under them. This indicates that each group of 3 notes is a "triplet" and so is played in the same time as 2 such notes. That makes the arithmetic add up.
