I'm thinking about switching it to binary mode after spring break just to annoy the kids some more. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the article link! Nice explanation. I'll have to remember to share it with my students towards the end of the year after they have the chance to try reading the clock in both modes.Meg Schlukebierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569534510904375255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485829632260045405.post-63821854526093275402009-01-06T20:00:00.000-06:002009-01-06T20:00:00.000-06:00Is it the Powers of 2 BCD clock, the one with the ...Is it the Powers of 2 BCD clock, the one with the blue LEDs? I have one too. It has two modes: BCD mode and binary mode. The default is BCD mode, which is probably the mode your students were reading.<BR/><BR/>I wrote an article about it at http://www.exploringbinary.com/how-to-read-a-binary-clock/ in case you (or your students) are interested.<BR/><BR/>Rick ReganDoctor Binaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458630612536035194noreply@blogger.com
