From the London Daily Telegraph: Schools in Britain are removing their analogue clocks from examination halls because students can’t read them. “Teachers are now installing digital devices after pupils sitting their GCSE and A-level exams complained that they were struggling to read the correct time on an analogue clock.”

We don’t doubt the sincerity of the complaints. If the only clock you’ve ever seen is on your smartphone, analogue clocks may seem strange. Why are the numbers in a circle? What do the two little lines mean, and why is one longer than the other? It’s all so confusing!
