    For those who aren’t familiar, this is how you read this. Just add up the columns where there are lights.

    * 8 * 8 * 8
    * 4 4 4 4 4
    2 2 2 2 2 2
    1 1 1 1 1 1
    

    So the last panel doesn’t have any 8s and is read like this. You add the columns.

    - 4 4 - - 4
    - - - 2 2 -
    1 1 - 1 - 1
    

    And adding those columns gives you:

    1 5 4 3 2 5

      Fuck this, too much brain power needed to simply tell the time. I’ll stick with my smartwatch (FWIW I at least use an analog watch face 'cause although I’m dumb, I’m not that dumb).

          Damn, even in my native language that would be way harder for me than just numbers. The easiest is the traditional watch face lmao, I even process numbers to it to actually understand the time. Sure I can read that text fast, but processing the words into numbers and then into actual time takes like five times longer than just numbers to time…

            Not bragging by any means, more of a “my brain needs one less thing to worry about” situation.
