    depends how often you run the test for, frequency of checking and if my more accurate you mean closest to the correct time or actually showing the correct time.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

        Are the clocks showing the 'wrong' time if there is a woman there to observe it?

        What is the frame of reference of the observer and each of the clocks?

          If I put the clock in a box, and a random terminal event could happen, how would I know if time actually still existed?
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            Moral of this test

            Never ask IT contractors a simple question and expect a simple answer.

            PS. Anyone got the right time on them?

                On a similar note...
                If I put CUK in a box and a random terminal event could happen, how would I know if moaning actually still existed?

                  You are assuming that both clocks are stationary. If the clocks are travelling around the world you could optimise the speed for them to read the correct local time always.

                    Good point!

                    A stopped clock in the right orbit could be right ALL day!

                      That's because there are no simple answers.

                      That's why we make a living
