      Most clocks have only two hands. Actually all school clocks I seen had only two

        There’s a huge difference between “most clocks” and “most clocks I’ve seen” - especially if your clock experience is restricted to schools.

        Do you see a lot of schools? Do you know whether the schools you’ve been to all use the same supplier? How broad is your school clock experience? How many clocks do you think you’ve seen, ever?

        Most clocks I’ve seen recently (I can recall exactly 1) have seconds hands. Regardless though I’m not suggesting “most clocks” have seconds hands…I’m just making a quip about how traditional, analogue, clocks have seconds hands to deal with the exact problems noted.

          And yet in schools they don’t have seconds. Never had

          I still have ptsd thanks to that. Can you imagine? No seconds?

          This is pure torture that should be forbidden by Geneva convention. So uncivilised

        Yeah we had a problem with the seconds hand in scools, too many students keep starting at them and we all know that if you stare at them time stops …
