Ignoring for the moment that we wouldn't deep freeze such a clock, it has other curious attibutes: If the scenario is tied only to the hour hand passing vertical the actual sweep of doom (purportedly 24h while displaying 12) can be no more than 1. Perhaps the real problem is that moving the hour hand in this way would do some pretty terrible things to the gears.

Ignoring for the moment that we wouldn't deep freeze such a clock, if the scenario is tied only to the hour hand passing vertical the actual sweep of doom is no more than 12h. Perhaps the real problem is that moving the hour hand in this way (unless it can slip) would do some pretty terrible things to the gears. Elvenivle (talk) 05:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
