Clocks that don't run

[Grapeshot]

That might be right for clocks that neither tic nor tock, but it doesn't work for clocks that run off speed. They may be correct either once or never IF their speed is constant.

If variable, then the possibilities are endless.

I said "Clocks" not Glocks - :lol:

In your time zone that may be true. But the clock will be correct twice a day somewhere.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, but one that runs off-speed is unlikely to be.

A clock that runs at a constant speed 12x faster than normal will be correct once every hour i.e., it'll be correct 24 times each and every day.

A clock that runs are the same speed, but 15 minutes behind time will never be right.

Dumb!

This whole preposterous old wives idea of when a bad clock may be correct.
Can only be supported IF a Correct clock is available to check it against!

A clock, two clocks, three clocks behind, which catches up first when you just rewind?
