DAY 327

Which clock is better......one that doesn't run at all, or one that loses a minute every day?

Answer:

A broken clock is right twice a day - every twelve hours. A clock that loses one minute a day will will need to make up those twelve hours to be right again. Twelve hours = 720 minutes (12 X 60). At one minute per day, the clock will not show the right time again for 720 days (almost two years). Of course, it's still an individual choice as to which clock is better.
