Probably over 50% of clocks in existence are never right, technically

A broken clock can be wrong all the time too. How many of them display for example the minute hand on the 6 and the hour hand right on a number...

Considering timezones, every working clock is right, but somes are just misplaced.

Even if it is set correct initially, in most places it will be wrong half of the year...daylight savings.

root mean squared error is lower though compared to a stopped clock (assuming it’s less than 3 hopes off)

This wit only works for analog, not digital. Soon, no one will know what time it is even with a clock because they only know digital, lol.

And cursive will become a secret language.

Generally when people read clocks they just round the hour hand down. Also, some clocks (especially older ones) don’t gradually move the hour hand, making your point work for only some clocks.

I think the essence of the saying is that a clock represents a time based on how we read it and if the time isn’t changing on the clock then it is correct twice a day.

God bless Arizona

Cursive almost already is a secret language. I can’t tell you how many people can’t read my cursive and those who can read it say it’s some of the neatest they’ve seen
