This Broken Clock boasts an unconventional timekeeping mechanism where hands randomly align at correct times thrice daily. It may seem broken, but somehow its fractured gears grant fleeting moments of accuracy amidst disarrayed hours. Its aesthetic appeal lies in the subtle ticking sounds between erratic movements.
Despite its unpredictable behavior, the clock has gained cult following among those seeking respite from precision schedules. For those willing to tolerate chaos, this peculiar timepiece offers three reassuring glances at reality within every 24-hour cycle.
It generalizes to the formula r = -(n - 2)/2, so if we want a clock which is right every second, we could have a clock going backwards 43,199 the normal speed...
Another possibility with this idea is to have a normal clock but with the 3 and the 9 numbers inversed (going backwards at normal speed). Such a clock will be right 4 times per day.
