"One clock was correct" said the mayor.

"Another is only half as wrong as the clock which is three-quarters as wrong as the clock which (when you know the true time) appears to be fastest."

I have to ask this.......how can a clock be ''half as wrong'' or ''three-quarters as wrong ''?

Thanks Astral! ROFL! I just could not be bothered to even guess either.

Better go find something constructive to do.

I imagine that if a clock is half as wrong as a clock saying 1pm which is in it's self an hour wrong then the half as wrong would only be 30 minutes wrong.

Or we could just ask the mayor
