A different way to read off the time - A new idea for a binary clock

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel binary clock design using a triangular array of bits, leveraging the sexagesimal system of time division to enable a unique geometric representation of time.

Contribution

It proposes a new binary clock layout based on a triangular array, connecting time representation with factorial-based sexagesimal divisions.

Findings

Triangular binary clock displays time effectively.

The design relies on the factorial of a natural number (720=6!).

The approach offers a geometric perspective on time reading.

Abstract

A new idea for a binary clock is presented. It displays the time using a triangular array of 15 bits. It is shown that such a geometric, triangular arrangement is only possible because our system of time divisions is based on a sexagesimal system in which the number of minutes in 12 hours equals the factorial of a natural number (720=6!).
