Perfect Time

In the early nineties, I lived in Cleveland, Ohio for a few years. While there, I had a friend who had this thing she called Perfect Time. Moments ago I was sitting in front of this monitor, staring at the little black kitten asleep atop it, my mind blank of ideas to print, a veritable tabula rasa. Suddenly this topic leapt to mind.

Essentially, Perfect Time means making meaningful strings of numbers from the digits displayed on a digital clock. If a person calls out "Perfect Time!", any bystander in the know can look at the clock and try to discern how the number sequence is in some way significant. The cool thing is, if the initiator of a Perfect Time can explain the importance of the numbers, it IS Perfect Time. Period. There is no debate allowed, and any observers will do well to add the number to their own personal mental Perfect Time databases. Note that we were playing on 12-hour digital clocks. I have no idea how things play out on 24-hour time, and I imagine things are problematic at best using analog clocks. Here are some examples.

Sequential:
1:23
2:34
3:45
12:34 etc.
Obviously these happen all the time

Birthdays:
11:25 (mine)
12:25 (Christ's, aka Christmas Time), etc.

Holidays:
11:05 (New Year's Day, 2005), etc.

Mathmatical constructs:
12:35 (string of first four prime numbers)
12:36 (1+2+3=6 and 1*2*3=6)
11:23 (first numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, excepting 0)
3:14 (PI time), etc.

These are just the beginning.

Spread this entertaining game far and wide, telling it duly on the mountain. Be the first in your area to bark out, "Perfect Time!" in restaurants, churches, courts of law, funerals, and other crowded places! Be needlessly cryptic, confuse people, draw stares, find yourself in contempt of court, be generally weird! Go forth and prosper.
