Why is it that everytime i see a picture of watch or clock the time is always 10:10? Amazingly why?

The hands at the 10:10 or 1:50 position, lead the eye to the makers logo, usually found just above center.\nAlso some interesting info here.\nhttp://www.ubr.com/clocks/faq/1010.html

Usually that it's eleven minutes past eleven.\nBut some people (including myself) think that it's good luck when the clock shows straight ones, and if you make a wish it'll come true. (Like shooting stars, blowing on dandelions, blowing out candles, etc.)

The stopwatches are known as "Decimal Minute Watches"\nand are used in time-motion studies.  \n\nMost of the ones you can buy today are digital, but I did find pictures at the site below.

refresh your screen... you may also want to check your clock/date it may not be current either, which can throw others programs off as well.

There are 2 clocks inside a computer.  They might be called the software and hardware clocks, with the software clock running when the computer is on.  The hardware clock uses a battery to keep running while the computer is off.\n\nThe hardware clock (also called a Real Time Clock or RTC) is a CMOS device that uses a timebase oscillator, which can only be read to the seconds accuracy.  They're not very accurate and might lose a few seconds every day.  Many times, computers will sync with the outside atomic clocks to get back on track.\n\nThe software clock is more precise, a bit prone to error, and of course, stops working when the computer is off.  It re-syncs itself with the hardware clock on boot up.

Wow.  Too many questions.\nThe first one is answered by an analemna - it's the figure 8 diagram printed on many globes that gives the amount of time that the sun is "fast" or "slow" (by a sundial) compared to a watch.

I've never found that, but I have found that at Daylight Savings Time, it will change.  It doesn't even sound plausible, but it always works like that. I'm really not sure why, but my mom and best friend have the same problem.  Who knows.

I think that when you first sign up to Yahoo! it asks you what time zone you are in. If you got it wrong or if you are at the edge of that time zone that would explain the time difference. Mine does it too. Its a real pain.

it is the icon that looks like a clock that has an green arrow pointing counter clockwise around the clock.. its beside my favorites icon in my desktop.. but most of the time it is different for every user ..

I have had alot of experiences with 11:11, that's for sure.  I've had watches stop at that time, also 1:11, same thing, I think.\n\nI've had the power go off at 11:11.  Woke up at night at 1:11 and 11:!! many time's, and caught the clock just turning on my back from the bathroom, or getting a glass of water.\n\nHad fights start at exactly 11:11.  But I didn''t know it was supposed to be lucky.  I thought unlucky.\n\nBeats me.  I think there is power in it.  There are websites about it.\n\nI have been on both ends of this question, I have asked and answered it.  \n\nGo into my page by clicking me and check my questions and answers if ya want, and email if you like.\n\nThe making wishes part is interesting.  \n\nJust lately I'm getting 11:12's.  And my luck doesn't seem to be as good.\n\nI got an answer, said it was the Harmonic Conversion.  Try that in the search bar.

Think of how animation works.  You see a picture, then a short time later, you see a slightly different one.  If the time between pictures is short enough, your brain interprets this as a moving picture.  (Why your brain does this has traditionally been attributed to the phenomenon of "persistence of vision", but it is likely much more complicated than that."  )  \n\nNow imagine a tire (sorry, I'm American, so I'll stick to our spelling) that has a white letter M (for Michelin) on it's sidewall.  The tire is spinning, so the letter M moves in a cirle, so that you see the white M at the top of the circle, then a short time later see it at the top of the circle, then a short time later at the top of the circle again, etc.  Because of the way the brain processes information, at a certain speed the brain will interpret this successive sightings of the M at the top of the circle as the M remaining stationary.  \n\nNow imagine the tire spinning a little slower, so that the M doesn't quite make it all the way around the circle before it is perceived again. The M started at the top of the circle, then the next time it was perceived it was located at say 11 o'clock, then the next time at  10 o'clock, etc.  Now, your brain will interpret the succesive pictures of the M as the M moving backwards.\n\nThis effect is even more pronounced in movies and TV, where the technology forces us to see motion split up into successive frames.  It is also the principle behind the timing light used to tune auto engines, for example.  A light that strobes on and off at a set frequency allows the mechanic to determine how fast the engine is turning by observing the motion, and adjusting the frequency so that the engine appears to be motionless.

Hi Jerry, for me the best solution is http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/\nand you can even set it up for what ever clocks around the world you want. { :-)

Your clocks jumped *automatically*???  DANG!!!  I spend an hour twice a year resetting all of mine!  It takes me so long because I can never remember how to do the ones on the stove, the microwave, and in my car, so I have to RTFM's (that's "read the {bleeping} manuals") every single time!  I'm green with envy.  Where do you buy your clocks???

10:10 is known as the time of perfection.\n\nThe reason is that Pele, The worlds greatest footballer had no.10 printed on his shirt so all watch companies keep 10:10 as the time.

The proper time is given by the formula \n\nT0 = T x square root of {1 - (v/c)^2} \n\nThis means a clock moving in any arbitrary manner moves slower than a stationary clock.\n\nIt took me a long time to understand your question. Now I do understand it. \n\nSome shrewd person could have understood sooner than me.\n\nI think time moves slowly for me. That is why it took a long time for me to understand it. \nI got the answer. Time is dilated for me. That is why it took a long time (Slow)

Depending on the software if might be going to the icon tray next to your clock. uTorrent does this. It's possible it's supposed to do that.

Excellent question!\n\nDear Yahoo!: \nWhy do most of the watch ads display the time as 10:10? \nSamina\n \n \nDear Samina: \nWe've never noticed this phenomenon, but you're absolutely right. A Yahoo! Shopping search on "watches" results in plenty of timepieces reading 10:10. Of course, there is some variation on the theme: 10:05, 10:08, 10:12, etc. We also found a few left-field entries: 8:20, 4:30, 2:35. \nBut for the most part, watch ads stick to roughly 10:10. Strangely, we also found plenty of digital watches set to the same time. This is obviously some kind of advertising standard. Why? Did some famous watch inventor die at 10 past 10? What's the significance? \n\nAccording to a reliable source, the reason is purely aesthetic. A watch reading 10:10 has a clean, symmetrical look. Also, the hands don't obscure the watchmaker insignia, which is usually located directly below 12 o'clock. \n\nApparently, the practice started in the 1920s, and it stuck. For a great history of the 24-hour analog clock, check out Pete Boardman's web site. \n\n \nLoad the link below, the answer includes links to pictures of watches
