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.
Seems to be, although that’s a very loose interpretation of what a “binary clock” means. Splitting the tens columns into a new digit is mathematically gibberish.
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.
You just need to rearrange bits so that each bit answers a practical question:
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.
