Nice, that can’t be too far from the minimum possible.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock but it's SELECT Digits FROM Numbers ORDER BY DigitName DESCEnglish
1·10 days agoAgain, that’s not how clocks work. The label on an analogue clock appears at the end of the hour segment. If the hour hand is halfway between two times, it’s half past the lower one.
If, as you argue, two is at the top (like in OP’s picture), that means that when the day starts and the hour hand is pointing up then it’s already in the second hour. Half an hour later it would appear halfway between two and twelve which is an hour ahead of where it should be.

1·10 days agoBut that’s not how clocks work - when the day starts on a normal clock it’s not 1 o’clock straight away, there’s an hour that happens first. The label is at the end of the hour’s segment.
Think about it this way: when a new day begins, where are the clock hands?
I did, the hour hand would be pointing at the (end of the) final hour, which is now eight. The minute hand’s position is a whole different discussion.

1·10 days agoIndeed, which is why 8 should be at the top.
The hours have been reassigned in reverse alphabetical order. This means the number which you hit at noon/midnight is “eight”.

21·12 days agoShouldn’t 2 be where 1 normally is, etc and 8 be at the top?
edit: I see you’d posted a similar one a few days ago and that had the same thing. Off by one, an evergreen programming error!

Oh, that’s on purpose! Strange choice, I guess it’s just to show you can…

4·23 days agoThat’s how I understood it, but you could read it as saying the author’s experience with Win11 revealed problems with his previous setup (i.e. Linux).

411·23 days agoOn first glance, I understood the title as saying there were nine problems in Win11; it might be ambiguous but I don’t think it’s fair to label it as very deceptive.
First time playing, I like it.

edit: I’ve just noticed that all my times are the same - is this from the time I hit check, or are my stats not working?

Same, I thought the animals went top-right so had to use a bunch of moves rearranging.
