SWITCHING FROM 24 HOUR CLOCKS TO 10 HOUR CLOCKS!!.

IT'S NEARLY HEAR - THE NEW MILLENARY, Mark Agius explains how his ten hour clocks will work.

GENESIS

In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the sprit of God moved over the waters.
And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night. And there was evening and morning one day.
And a few days later or so Man decided to divide the day up into 24 hours!

The current 24 hour clock system.     24 hours   = 1 day
     12 hours   = ½ a day
     60 minutes = 1 hour
     60 seconds = 1 minute

 86,400 seconds = 1 day

The new 10 hour clock system.      10 new hours   = 1 day
       5 new hours   = ½ a day
     100 new minutes = 1 new hour
     100 new seconds = 1 new minute

 100,000 new seconds = 1 day

If you wish to convert a 12 hour analogue clock into a 5 hour analogue clock then;

1) Print-out the 5 hour clock face below, (http://members.aol.com:/MarkAgius/WebPages/Images/Clock_05.gif)
2) Cut-out the picture, (don't forget the hole in the center)
3) Remove the hands from your 12 hour clock face,
4) Stick the new 5 hour clock face onto the clock, and put the hands back on.

Note;
If your clock strikes-out the chimes on the hour then you must turn-off this feature.
