How long is a piece of string? Your unanswerable questions. ANSWERED (or not)

more likely to be a 12:00 and 1st of jan some years tbh, as more stopped clocks are stopped then.

What about the opposite way?

Only correct once a day?

Also December 31st 2016 because?

Ha- yes good point. Next time someone says even a stopped clock is right twice a day, I’m going to point out that wasn’t true on 10th March of my watch which is stuck at 2.30

what’s that about new year ??

It’s when leap second adjustment happens, so you get repeated times then too

Cos the earth is slowing down I think :thinking:

It was the last leap second. 31st December 2016

The first was in 1972 when I think there was one in June and one in December. It was also a leap year making 1972 the longest year? I think.
