That's so cool. Well clocks counting down are sometimes more useful than clocks counting up. In fact where did I read that NASA's countdowns were til ten but then to build up suspense for television, they counted ten down to zero.

And in fact that was better, with computers that's often better. So literature and cinema, the concept of suspense, actually improved science AND made good television at the same time.

For boxing they should count down from ten to zero, in fact.
