Fun fact: my local vaccination centre used Nepal time clock as the “minutes” part for a clock that was 15 minutes slow. Why?

That clock showed you the vaccination time that was now safe to leave, having been observed for 15 minutes.

Yep I appreciated the “geek” that hacked that up. I hope there was some humour behind it. The “normal” thing would be to get a wall clock and wind it back 15!
