12 hour clock. (this displays 00
when we would typically expect to see 12
)
.beat
time is a system which uses 1/1000 of a day and overrides timezones. Using the local timezone and just labeling as millidays you get a similar system:
If we take the real number of days since last midnight (between 0 and 1) and represent it in base 12 we get this:
= 1/12
= 2/12 = 1/6
= 3/12 = 1/4
= 4/12 = 1/3
= 5/12
= 6/12 = 1/2
= 7/12
= 8/12 = 2/3
= 9/12 = 3/4
= 10/12 = 5/6
= 11/12
= 1 day
= 12h (black at AM, red in PM)
= 6h, hour hand is on (black=right, red=left) side of analog clock.
= 2h =
=1h (black = hour is even, green = hour is odd)
= 30min, minute hand is on ((black=right, green=left) side of analog clock
= 10 min =
= 50 sec =
= (4 + 1/6) sec =
= (25/72) sec, just over 1/3 I.E. one beat of "one mississippi"
