					<description>That's fantastically geeky. Luckily, for mathematically-challenged folks like me, it can also be read like a "normal" clock.</description>

					<description>I'm a bit curious.

For the hour hand you appear to be saying black = 1 and white = 0. But for the minute hand you seem to say black = 0 and white = 1. I'm not sure I see the reason for this reversal since the digits for the mintues and hours don't overlap.

Also although I might have made a couple errors if you consider the first 4 rings to be the hours than depending if you start from the inside or the outside you get (counting counter clockwise)

4,5,6,7,1,9,10,11,10,13,14,15
or
2,8,6,12,8,9,5,13,3,11,7,15

However, if you take white = 1 and black = 0 and have the inside digit as the highest than you get the

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

you were talking about. In this case the clock is both right side up and moving clockwise,

As well the time is now 0110 = 6 (1001 would be 9). I haven't looked at the minute hands though but a quick glance suggests they are white = 1 and black = 0 though and the clock needs to be rotated about 3 mins clockwise to be fully upright.</description>

					<description>Hrm, though if it is 6 and clockwise than the hour hand has way too far to move to reach 7 before the minute hand reaches 00.</description>

					<description>Ok there seems to be some confusion...

White is high!  Like I said in the writeup.

for those not in the know:

high is to low as
1 is to 0 and
on is to off and
5V is to 0V and
white is to black

eh?  get it?

In the picture, the whole clock needs to be rotated about 3 mins clockwise to be upright as Aaron stated.  Also for the picture the hands weren't calibrated yet (they are now), ie when the minute hand and hour hand are overlapping they weren't centered over 12.</description>
