Hi Community,
How to read a 16-Bit Day clock like this:

?

EDIT:
1101
0111
1001
0010 <- updates every second

#2

Decimal …Binary
0… 0
1 … 1
2 … 10
3… 11
4 … 100
5 … 101
6 … 110
7 … 111
8 … 1000
9 … 1001
10 … 1010

#3

No colon?

#4

First row = 13
2nd row = 7
3rd row = 10
4th row = 2

It’s simple enough math. There are definately much more simple binary clocks available using 32 bits.

#5

And why would anyone want to know how to read a 16-bit clock?

#6

really?
but the 4th row updates every second
the 3rd updates every 15th second

#7

3rd row updates every 15 seconds b/c 1+2+4+8 = 15

#8

Fail. 3rd row is 9.

Hmm, when I do the math on this clock it’s not able to count a full 24 hours. I must be missing something.

#9

Are you sure the bottom row updates every second and not every ~1.318 seconds?
If it’d be the latter, then the clock would be displaying the time by fractions of a day, where the first bit is half days, the second is quarter days, third is eighth days, etc.
In which case the time in the picture would be roughly 20:12:35

#10

When the hell was 20:12 a time? Unless you count military time.

#11

Very fitting avatar.

#12

24 hour clock: “This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today.”

Epic Fail.

#13

I lol’d.

#14

my god, can you say lack of education ?
Dude, read a book, stop playing games 24/7

#15

:expressionless: Wow. Why not think before you post? Very epic fail.
