but why there is a need for making so difficult lock .............. that person has to use his mind (some time paper) to see time

Because it looks cool? I think it is impractical, like you stated. But I have no idea why anyone would want this other than to have people look at it like WTF like you did. I am really dumb when it comes to math.. I could only figure out a few of them in my head. You really don't have to figure them out though, you can just look and see where the other numbers would be.

Great Clock... I agree that it would be difficult for a lot of people to tell the time, but I just watch the hands, never the numbers, so I can figure the time even without them.

Reminds me of a clock I saw a long time ago, that only has one hand. Wanted to get one, but never found it again.

I can't remember how he told me to read it.. but my friend has a watch, where instead of the hands and numbers there is a circuit board and six (maybe eight) red lights. And in the position of the lights it somehow tells time. I thought it was pretty neat.

LOL It's not really difficult to read, you don't actually need to work out the equations, you can get plenty of clocks without numbers on them, and you just see where the hands are.

Cool clock though. But what does the exclamation mark mean in maths?? And is there are reason it's all nines??

The ! is the symbol for factorial, which means to multiply a number by each of the numbers that precede it. So 3! is 3 * 2 * 1.

And it's all 9's because they work out the best in all that math.

None of that was really difficult for me, but I've had to go through 2 semesters of college calculus, along with some other rather pain in my ass math courses which all make square roots and factorials simple business.

Cool clock, btw.
