10:10 IN EACH CLOCK!

Observations show that in any advert the clock shows the time 10:10. There is no specific or scientific theory
behind this, however, people till date has come up with many different possible reasons for the same. Below are
some popular reasons for the time 10:10:

Symmetrical Look: When the watch is at 10:10 we get a vertical symmetry in the face of the clock.

Smiley Look: When we look at a watch at 10:10, we see as if the watch is smiling. It is better to have a smiling
face, rather than having a crying face when the time is at 8:20.

Visibility: When the hands are at 10:10, we have the makers name and other details clearly visible when they
are placed at above or below the centre.

Victory: When the clock is at 10:10, the hands are similar to the letter "v" which symbolises victory.

First Watch: The first watch is made/completed at this time.

Abraham Lincoln: Many say that it is due to Abraham Lincoln died at that time and so the watches are showing
10:10. But some say that, Lincoln is shot at night at around 10:15, and died in the next day morning at around
7:22. History still remains mysterious!

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Attack: It is because during that time, first atomic bomb was used and in remembrance
of all the victims, all unused clocks or the clocks which are presented in show-cases have the same time of
10:10.

HISTORY OF CLOCKS

The history of clocks is very long, and there have been many different types of clocks over the centuries. Not all
historians agree on the history of the clock. The word clock was first used in the 14th century (about 700 years
ago). It comes from the word for bell in Latin ("clocca").

Usage of Sun
The very first method that people used to know the time was by looking at the sun as it moves across the
skyline. When the sun was directly overhead in the sky, people considered it as the middle of the day. When the
sun was near to the horizon, it was either early morning known as sunrise or evening known as sunset.
Presuming time was not very accurate during these days.
Sundial Clocks
The oldest type of clock is a sundial clock, well known as sun clocks. They were first used around 3,500 B.C.
(about 5,500 years ago). Sundials use the sun to tell the time. The shadow of the sun points to a number on a
circular disk that shows you the time. As sundials depend on the sun, these clocks had a very limited use during
day time and during sunny days of the year.

Water Clocks
Around 1400 B.C. (about 3,400 years ago), water clocks were invented in Egypt. The name for a water clock is
clepsydra (pronounced KLEP-suh-druh). Water clocks were famous in Greece, where they were further improved
many times over the period of time. Water clocks could perform better than sundials as people could easily use it
during night and all thought the year.

Pendulum Clocks
The pendulum swings left and right, and as it swings, it turns a wheel with teeth. The turning wheel turns the
hour and minute hands on the clock. At first pendulum clocks, the pendulum used to have a wide angle. As it
improved with time, many changes it undergone and the angle of pendulum was narrowed.

The first pendulum clock with external batteries was developed around 1840. By 1906, the batteries were inside
the clock.

ANTIQUE CLOCKS

It is by and large accepted that the first British domestic clocks were what we now call Lantern clocks. Lantern is
thought to come from the word 'Latten', a past name for brass or possibly from the clock's resemblance to a
lantern.

These clocks were manufactured mostly by brass and some iron components added in it. They were wall clocks,
weight driven and striking hours on a large overhead bell and usually about 16" high. Commercial manufacturing
started in early 1600's.

Inventions and Innovations gave several better models of clocks over the period of time for better accuracy,
ease of handling and designs, however the antique clock designs are very rare and unique which are rarely seen.

WHAT IS QUARTZ?

Quartz is a hard crystalline mineral which is found abundantly all over the Earth in a variety of forms. It is the
most common mineral on the Earth, making up 12% of the Earth's crust by volume, and is used in a wide variety
of applications including jewelry, scientific research, manufacturing, and building. Because of its many uses,
quartz is also a very important mineral, and some rare varieties of quartz are considered to be quite valuable. It
can also be quite beautiful, especially when cut and polished by a jeweler who appreciates the properties of
quartz. It is often used as a cheaper substitute for fancier gems, and when handled well, it can be difficult to
distinguish from more expensive counterparts.

A quartz clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This
crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of
magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logic counts the cycles of
this signal and provides a numeric time display, usually in units of hours, minutes, and seconds. Since the
1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.

Tips
 If in a grid, this is the numerical button order. 1 is bottom left, 2 is to the right of 1. 3 is to the right of 2, and then we go up a row and
restart the process ( 1 2 3 being 4 5 6).
 The numerical button order.
 It is easiest to release the On button before releasing the numeric buttons.

Warnings
 This will work on most modern calculators, with or without an "OFF" button.
 This does not work with regular Casio calculators without the "OFF" button.
 This will not work on scientific or graphing calculators.
