This is billed as a 'Geek Clock' [included in the picture and on the face of the clock as 'GeekCook']

There are two values I can't figure out at the moment:

 

Those for 3 and 4 O'Clock.

 

Those representing 7 and 11 O'Clock I can't even make a start on at the moment.

 

Can anyone get me started on figuring these out and explain 3 and 4 O;Clock also. It is really bugging me now.

 

Edit: I am guessing that Log(55) is not in Base 10 but which base is it?

Binary Clock

 

ThinkGeek :: LED Binary Clock

[SYNACK]

1 o'clock http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=tan%2845%29

2 o'clock sqrt(4) = 2

3 o'clock is simply a rounding of the value of pi equaling 3

4 o'clock is the result of log(55) in base 10 according to Wolfram Alpha log(55) - Wolfram|Alpha

5 o'clock http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%5E2%3D3%5E2%2B4%5E2

6 o'clock http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3%21

7 o'clock I'm guessing the rounding of 6.9

8 o'clock 16/2 = 8

9 o'clock 3x3=9

10 o'clock g = gravity constant of 9.8m/s/s rounds to 10

11 o'clock 0x0B is hexidecimal for 11 in base 10

12 o'clock 1100 in base 2 binary equals 1x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 0x1 = 12

5 o'clock x^2=3^2+4^2 - Wolfram|Alpha

6 o'clock 3! - Wolfram|Alpha

7 o'clock I'm guessing the rounding of 6.9

8 o'clock 16/2 = 8

9 o'clock 3x3=9

10 o'clock g = gravity constant of 9.8m/s/s rounds to 10

11 o'clock 0x0B is hexidecimal for 11 in base 10

12 o'clock 1100 in base 2 binary equals 1x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 0x1 = 12

 

Thank you - that was driving me mad

where can these be purchased from????

I'd like one too. I've seen several versions on various websites.

7 = 6.9 reoccurring

 

Because we all know that 0.9... (or 0.9 reoccurring) = 1

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

I can't tell digital time when it reaches 20, 21, 22, hundred hours. it just confuses me... STILL! I know... we only learnt how to count upto two at school when I was there...

 

testing 1... 2.... testing 1... 2...

7 = 6.9 reoccurring

 

Because we all know that 0.9... (or 0.9 reoccurring) = 1

 

0.999... - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

 

.

 

 

I thought it was something different due to the line above the 9 in the 6.9

I found this website which appears to show the clock available for sale:

 

Geek Cook Geek Clock For Sale

 

Using Google to translate the page is no help. Can anyone here provide a meaningful translation?

My wife suggested that I do a new search. This is what I turned up:

 

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/geek-clock2.jpg

 

Link: Geek Clock 2

 

My wife prefers the first clock but says that at least this one has a website and price we can understand.

 

There is an explanation of the symbols/equations used on the face of the clock below the image on the website.

I came across this one too but, like your wife, I prefer the original version.

Aspiral Clocks: Clocks that slowly move throughout the day, using a ball rather than clock hands to tell the time.

Apparently they want $547.00 [per clock!] At that price they can keep them. They look nice though.
