If you don't like the recurring decimal place, then maybe the 'seven' position is instead just fractionally behind where it is on normal clocks. Awesome clocks.

I loved the clocks!... But I don't see what is the problem with 0.999... = 1. This is a very important and interesting fact that should be grasped by all professionals whose activity involves numbers, and more specifically the positional numeric systems. I even believe this has some practical applications. I remember reading once that a certain (IEEE?) standard required for some reason that numbers be represented in the "expanded" way, instead of with the alternative ending "000...". Go figure. Hello.
