My colleague @thomasp has the most amazing clock and I have to say, I'm jealous.

@ruari @thomasp Interesting. It uses the property shown in this gif, that the tangent of an expanding circle maintains a constant angle with the spiral and rotates at a constant rate.

@mkwadee @ruari Here's part of the documentation that came with it

@ruari That clock was a Christmas present from my mum. Seems to have been a bit of a theme - I also got this useful date-keeping device from my aunt:

@ruari @thomasp That's excellent! Where can i get one?!

[thomasp@social.vivaldi.net]

@georgebmillion_com @ruari It seems to be sold various places online. https://shop.momath.org/fibonacci-spiral-clock.html for instance.

Cool, but how long does it take each morning to solve the puzzle?

[thomasp@social.vivaldi.net]

@mcpinson @ruari Right now it depends on the day. If I'm lucky, it takes a couple of minutes. Can be more like 20 minutes when I'm less lucky.

I see two princesses... #MLP for the win, my friend.

Oh, and cool clock too.

The guy who made that makes lots of others, equally fascinating. I met him at a conference and bought the same one. You can find him here.https://robertdarwen.com/

@Jorsh Well spotted! 100% agreed

[thomasp@social.vivaldi.net]

@Jorsh a view from a different angle...

I guess the massive amount of jealousy got too much.
