Do you know how many lights are in the second-to-last row of the Mengenlehreuhr, a public clock which tells the time by means of illuminated coloured fields? (en.wikipedia.org)

I....don't have the wherewithal to argue here.

I didn't ask you about Minos Korva.photo of a building at night with a lighted sign saying FIVE GUYS, but, the lights in the letters F and E have failed, making those letters only dimly visible such that, at first glance, the sign appears to say "IV GUYS". Beneath this photo is a screen capture of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in the ELEVENTH episode of season six of Star Trek: The Next Generation ("Chain Of Command, Part II"). His mouth is open and he has an anguished expression on his face. At the bottom of the image is the impact outline meme text caption "THERE ARE FOUR GUYS".

Is it 2:26 pm? I know I like absolute confusion in my clock designs, personally.

It would have used fewer lights to do some 7 segment displays (plus a dedicated 1 and 2 light)
