You Sir bring up a very important point in my point.
So I would like to take this time to make a very important
point in return to the point that you have brought up
about the point I was pointedly pointing out to you.
I would also like to point out that I am taking your
points about my point, under my immediate and pointed
advisement.
Pointedly,
me

I get your point:)

Truce?

Back when I was a kid I taught myself how to read Roman numerals so I could tell when an old movie or a cartoon was made. Its a shame new movies and TV shows dont use them any more.

^Exactly! That's exactly what I did too! :~)

Why are days divided in two parts when it comes to clocks?
Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem AKA AM and PM.

Good question.

Those weird markings some clocks have? :)

The only reason kids need to know Roman numerals these days is to work out when old buildings were constructed.

So that's what clocks look like when you've had a few too many.

I'm trying to figure out what weird math are used for 7, 8 and 12...

Love that clock... Even thought of changing my desktop background, but I didn't:)

Yep, it reads 10 past drinking up time ....

Here it would be 10mins after the pub doors opened. :-)

Cheers.

Hehehe. Here's an old Aussie drinking toast.

Here's to you, here's to me,
Together as friends we'll always be,
And if we ever disagree,
Bugger you, and here's to me.

ROFLMAO!

I've never heard that 1 before Chris, but if I down get down to the pub today I'll have to give it try. :-D

Cheers.

Is the seven O:clock three ones squared? Or are those 3 lines another math character?

Seven in base 2 (binary)?

I thought binary was 0's and 1's? Anyway as math is not my forte, All of those symbols mean nothing to me. The only one I do recognise is the 1 over the cos 60 degree one.

001 = 1
010 = 2
011 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7 (bingo!)

Octal to Decimal, folks.

I almost forgot:

000 = 0 :o(

001 = 1
010 = 2
011 = 3
100 = 4
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7 (bingo!)

Octal to Decimal, folks.

So is it base 2? or binary? it reads 111 2 (Sorry my keyboard cant do the under part) Is the 2 the base number?

Octal, James, is binary numbering, base 2, but with an important caveat:
The binary numbers increase to 7, then increment to
10 (octal), not 8 (decimal).

Hexadecimal (hex) is an even "denser" way to condense decimal, and those
programmers who code for firmware use it. I never did, as a
hardware engineer, although did do some programming, in octal.

Programmers, using Assembly Language, will see the locations in octal
(at least, my programs were so identified). I ended up using C, which was/is
a beautiful/clean language. There are many other languages, as you/everyone
else is/are aware).

To decipher (you pbly. know this, but will elaborate, anyway):

Reading right-to-left: 0
2exp0 = 1
2exp1 = 2
2exp2 = 4
etc.

Adding, again, one has 4+2+1=7.

One doesn't even have to do the math, just memorize, as most engineers do:

0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc. A 1K memory chip, actually,
has 1024 logical locations.

10 (octal) = 8 (dec). So, our clock, if in octal, would read
000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1 000, 1 001, 1 010,
1 011, 1 010 (I have omitted the "0" in the first eight numbers).

The last five octal numbers would be referred to as
10 (octal), 11 (octal), 12 (octal), 13 (octal), and 14 (octal).

Hope this adds some clarity.

Make the last octal value 1 1000, not 1 010. Getting late.
