add a second minute hand. If you could add a second minute hand to an analog clock, you would be able to increase the precision by allowing the time to be determined to the second.

How do you spell an alarm clock sound?

Mine is a wailing beep, so I would put that, but make sure to specify that it is an alarm clock.


When do two and two make more than four?

I can imagine circumstances in which we could say that two and two make more than four. Two male rabbits and two female rabbits could have hundreds of offspring. Or, it could be that by two we only mean approximately two, and it might turn out to be slightly more than two. Measurements are often not precise. But if we consider the question purely in terms of arithmetic, 2 + 2 = 4, always.


You slept at 8pm and wound the clock to set the alarm at nine in the morning how many hours sleep would you get?

I've never seen a wind-up alarm clock that could distinguish between AM and PM. So in all likelihood, the alarm will go off at 9pm and you will get one hour of sleep. But if we play along with the premise and assume that there is some way to make the clock go off at 9am and not 9pm, then you would get 13 hours of sleep, assuming you instantly fell asleep at 8pm and nothing woke you up in the night and that you could somehow sleep soundly for that amount of time and that you woke up instantly when the alarm went off.


Why did Benjamin Banneker make a wooden clock?

Because he needed to know when to come in and do household chores because he was to poor to have a maid and was not married.


How many revolutions does the hour hand on a clock make a year?

The hour hand will rotate once around a clock every 12 hours. Therefore, in a regular, 365 day year, the hour hand will make 365 x 2 = 730 rotations, while in a leap year, it will make 366 x 2 = 732 rotations.
