    Days start at 0h, not 12h

    It can’t start at 12 hours if there are 24 segments.

    And keep your letters out of it too.

      What clocks do you have that say 0, except for the 0 in 10?

            Well I can tell you that mine definitely doesn’t go anti-clockwise

      The AM/PM bullshit:

      AM: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

      Then the same for PM. Who counts like that? Whats after 12? 1! What?

        The galaxy-brained group known as “Z12 + 1”. “What if we did modular arithmetic but one-indexed.”

        Edit: Actually, wait, it’s worse: zero-indexing but we represent the zero element in Zn as ‘n’. Kill it with fire.

          Is not 12+12Z the exact same coset as 0+12Z? Is 12 not the identity element? Must group theory follow computer science conventions?

        People who lived before the invention of zero counted like that!

          I have no idea if that’s true but I believe it

            The idea of zero being a number rather than the absence of a number took a very long time to settle on. There’s a whole history book on the topic!

              I listened to an audiobook about the history of zero years ago (can’t remember the name, might be that one). I thought it would be dull enough to fall asleep to.

              It was not.

        I have a clock that has 0 at the bottom, 6 in the 9 position, 12 at the top, and 18 in the 3 position.

            That’s fantastic and I want one, but it’s a BCD clock. Binary would say 01100 001111 101101
