Agree 100% with you Anon!
Have you thought about taking the clock and literally winding it backwards (from 12/7 to 10/28)? Then use the same time stamps and place all other Q drops (after 12/7) on the appropriate markers so that we see how all relate from 10/28 through 12/7 (it may give us details on all that occurred from 10/28/ through 12/7). No autist here…just thinking (counter-clockwise winding a grandfather clock) Also Grandfather clocks have 3 different parts..pendulum, and two weights which could represent the 5,10,15 (5 being today would be the pendulum). Just giving my thoughts out loud. If I was better at computer graphics, I would try it but don't know how to reverse the dates shown on outer perimeter in mirror image.
