      Maybe I’m dense but shouldn’t the clock be:

      • H: 0.01667
      • M: 1
      • S: 60

      Yep, I’m a dumb, realized after a cup of coffee. Confirmed by the reply below.

      I think I’m just going to go back to bed and skip today

        Yes, you’re dense lol. The speeds are correct: the second hand that does one full Revolution Per Minute, the minute hand does one full Revolution Per Hour and the hour hand does one Revolution Per 12 Hours.

        Oh my god I’m full of caffeine and still wondered this same thing. In my defense it’s Friday afternoon and I’m tired.

      Everything in XKCD is based on truth. That’s what makes it so funny… to geeks, at least.

      Edit: God damn it, he put 72 instead of 78 RPM. I guess he does make mistakes after all…
