You get up. It is pitch darkish. You do not know the place you might be. You really feel groggy.

The final thing you bear in mind is being in a bar, a horny younger lady appeared out of nowhere, walked straight at you, smiled, engaged dialog and provided you a drink. You ought to have recognized issues do not occur like that. You ought to have been suspicious when she complimented your outfit and began to chuckle at your math jokes. Anyway.

You will need to have been kidnapped. Now you might be in a jail cell or one thing, behind bars. It is pitch darkish.

You surprise what time it’s. Is it day or night time? You don’t know. There are not any home windows.

You do not put on watches any extra. But you continue to elevate your wrist. Old behavior. Anyway it is pitch darkish, you do not see something. And your smartphone has been taken away.

You simply sit there and look into the darkness. Did I point out? It is pitch darkish.

You discover, outdoors of the cell there’s a faint reddish glow altering barely each second. There should be a digital clock on the wall, however invisible from the place you might be. The variety with luminous 7-segment digits.

You are bored. And you actually need to know what time it’s.

The faint glow modifications barely each second. It should be the variety of segments which can be lit at any time. Sometimes it does not change. You cannot inform precisely how a lot it modifications or the way it compares to some seconds in the past. You solely see whether or not it will get brighter or darker. Every second. Mesmerizing.

You notice you most likely can learn the time from that.

The query: Is it attainable to ultimately know the time from the modifications within the reddish glow? If sure, how lengthy will it take within the worst case to make sure what time it’s?

Assume 24 hour format. Does it show a number one zero on hours? You aren’t speculated to know. How would you, proper?
