Six columns of binary numbers each representing a base 10 digit to display three base 10 numbers is kinda stupid, but it is easier to read than just having three binary numbers I guess.
Yeah, what kind of idiot needs repeating patterns in the time format for repeating times during a day? Just display the unix timestamp on the clock tower and be done with it.
Actually, having 64 bits arranged vertically on a tower seems neat.
When it’s a 24 h display like in the cartoon the digits must have more lights to represent numbers higher than 15. The clock in the cartoon only has four lights per column.
15:39? Then takes him 3 minutes
15:39:02 until 15:43:25, so more than 4 minutes.
It is afternoon, tho.
“If the first column has lights, it’s more than likely afternoon” lol
The true binary clock: afternoon or not-afternoon.
I mean, if you don’t need to know the precise time it’'s indeed useful and cool…but there are better ways to do it

Wdym three binary numbers? Just one is enough. Make it a Unix timestamp so you can have a calendar built in!

I’d prefer your version of this clock.
