What counts as a broken clock anyway? If it just stops then yes, that person is right, of course - but! I have a wristwatch that is always out of time. Fix it and leave it for a few days? It's going to show some unrelated time again.

I count it as broken! And can it feasibly always be wrong? Now that is interesting.

Let me help you with another clusterfuck thought:
There is no such thing as the 'now.'

Assume the clock moves v times as fast (slow) as "real time" and starts right. Will it still be right? The start doesn't count.
t = vt (mod 12)
|v-1|t=0 (mod12)
t=12n/|v-1| where n is a whole number between 0 and infinity
0<t<=12 but n can really be as big as we want theoretically. When n is big enough, which it will be eventually, the last equation will be wrong
t = vt (mod 12)

Thus, a broken clock is not necessarily right twice a day. I can now be at peace

@Corty your statement is not interesting
greyblob
it says broken not faulty
TotallyHuman
Actually... I probably made a mistake somewhere. It makes no sense.

@greyblob I count a clock that cannot show real time as broken
