Given a choice, what would you choose: a broken clock or a clock which loses 5 minute every day?

Question

You may need to think about this one.

Answer 1

The clock that loses 5 minutes. You can just set it ahead every day or week.

Answer 2

Id rather have the broke clock it tells the right time twice a day the clock that looses time is never right

Answer 3

technically, isn't a clock that loses 5 minutes every day considered "broken"?

Answer 4

broken clock because a perfect thing is always required

Answer 5

clock that loses 5 minute a day.

That's 5 min in 24 hours

Or 2 and a half min. for 12 hours

That's 150 seconds for 12 hours



And that's is ONLY  12.5 Seconds per HOUR!

After 5 hours, it's only a minute off.

After 10 hours, only 2 minutes.

After 15 hours, only 3 minutes.

At 20 hour, I'd already be sleeping and don't care the time.

I could live with that.  After 24 hour, I'd just reset it.

Answer 6

Ze clock Which loses 5 minutes a day. You have to calculate the time so it keeps ones mind active.

Answer 7

The one that loses 5 minutes each day. I just have to add 5 minutes to what it says to know the time.

The broken one may be correct twice a day, but how will I know when it's correct? If it says 12:15 that doesn't help me to know when 12:15 is.  It will be correct at 12:15 but without a functioning clock I won't ever know when that time actually occurs.

At least with the other I can just add 5 minutes to the time displayed to get the correct time, and as long as I set it up 5 minutes before I go to bed I'll always know the correct time.

Answer 8

couldn't I take the broken clock for repair?

Answer 9

Broken clock :)
