It's actually pretty easy once you try, though digital readout will always be faster for me.

I like their footnote, sounds like some mommies got offended.

But it's just binary?

It includes enough lights to be 24-hour format compatible, which can throw people off.

I cannot figure out how to read that!

:(

edit: the b/f just looked at it and asked why people have to waste so much time and effort making so easy into something difficult.

That clock is only semi-1337, a real 1337 clock wouldn't use BCDs. I agree with others, who the hell wants to convert binary to decimal every time they look at a clock?!

I figured it out in three seconds by following their diagram.

Uh.. its not really tough at all to read. And 24 hours makes it easier IMHO, but thats what I'm used to. Takes a tad bit longer to decipher, but I'd definitly consider picking one up just to piss off idiots. (no offense if you cant read it)

I'd hardly call anyone who can't read that an idiot.
