13 chars in [4,+,-,*,/] can make all number in range(60)

Hi, it is Dr. NISHIO Hirokazu. Today I wonder how much characters required to make fixed-width one-digit-only digital clock. Which digit is the most suitable?

When I allow to use bitwise calculation, 5 is the most suitable digit. It requires only 8 characters.

0       555/5555
1       ~~-5+-~5
2       -~-5+-~5
3       555&5*55
...

Surprisingly in the hardest restriction it requires only 13 characters.

• no bitwise operation. allow only the 4 arithmetical operations.
  
• no minus-minus connection. 4--4 = 4 - -4 is not allowed
  
• negate operation should not be aside of the other operation. 4+-4, 4*-4, 4/-4 are also omitted
  
• true division. 4 / 44 is not 0, it is 1 / 11.
  

Here is the result. I think 37 == 4444/44-4*4*4 is very cute!! I love it!
