The crazy steam-spewing Union Square "Metronome" clock is off by 52 minutes! Does anyone even know how to read this thing? One blogger explains just how to decipher it:The 15 numbers of the digital clock display time going and coming relative to midnight. Read time going left to right and time coming in the opposite direction. So, if the clock reads 180746***135205 it means that it is 6:07 P.M. (18 hours/07 minutes/46 seconds since midnight) and that there are 5 hours/52 minutes/13 seconds remaining until midnight. The three numbers in between are a blur of moving numbers. It is like a digital hourglass.
Is the Union Square Clock Trying To Tell Us Something?

Countdown to 2012 the movie?
I've always thought that the clock was easy to read and that most people knew how to read it.
Ha!
My friend told me that random string of numbers was the National Deficit. For a long time I actually believed her.
thats on 44th & 6th.
That thing is a CLOCK? I thought it was some kind of stupid art installation!
it is a stupid art installation.
art is dead.
no that's punk, art is just dumb.
I was hoping the Forever 21 moving in downstairs would rip this eyesore down.
When are they going to get rid of this ugly-ass piece of faux-art? The steam, the magic wand, Goerge Washington's hand--- so annoying.
"Does anyone even know how to read this thing?"
sigh.
So that picture was taken at 1:18:23 PM, when there were 10 hours, 41 minutes and 36.whatever seconds left until midnight? Learn something new every day.
addition! way to go, champ.
i can't believe how many idiots couldn't figure out it was a clock. pathetic.
the blogger is a she
what is that supposed to mean...
It means that I, the blogger referenced as a 'he', am actually a she!
This was an extremely helpful post.
anyone with half a brain -- chimpanzees included -- can decipher this thing within 30 seconds.
I just can't believe how stupid the average person is.
that thing is an eyesore. I like art, but this is bad art.
