  It might not align with any known time zone, but it will show you the solar time of some location somewhere.

      Yes, analog clocks are round 🕘

      I bet if you roll it like a wheel, the time will probably be right somewhere…

  I mean I have heard this reasoning said differently a lot of times but isn’t that technically not true? I mean time zones only go in 1 hour increments. So if the time is 5:30 and a wrong clock says 5:40, it isn’t really 540 somewhere. It’s 530 or 630 or 730 or w/e

    Fun fact! Timezones don’t just break at 1 hour increments. timeanddate.com/…/time-zones-interesting.html

  Or maybe if the clock is exactly an hour off, it’ll eventually be right when daylight saving time rolls around.
