A broken clock is right twice a day, but a clock running backwards is right four times a day.

I'm really picky when it comes to clocks. They need to be ±1 minute. If they aren't it really starts to bother me.

time dilation ftw!
5 0 ReplyA broken clock may occasionally be right but it's regularly useless
5 0 ReplyIf you're lucky, a clock that's slightly too fast or too slow will be right once
4 0 ReplyMy grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it
*It must be correct as it's very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past

Depends how fast is going backwards
20 1 ReplyAlso depends how the other clock is broken, if we're this picky about it.
10 0 ReplyThat's why the correct term is 'a stopped clock' not a broken one.
4 0 ReplyYeah a broken LED clock isn't often right!

Luckily we don't build clocks for n-dimensional time

A clock running backwards turns left and is therefor never right.
