Was looking for a "countdown" timestamp and came across the famed watch post#2647 and the preceding 2626 and 2627 "clock is ticking" posts. Actually #2627 caught my eye first with its "countdown" timestamp of "3:14:15…". It looked like someone saying, "three minutes and 14,15…"

Post #2626 happens to say, "the clock is ticking," with a time stamp of 3:11:25. To me, this screams "Mark!" and when someone says, the clock is ticking, what hand on the clock do you "mark" or pay attention to, as in mark my word? The second hand position? 25?

If you add to that marked seconds position (3:11:[25]) the countdown sequence of 3 minutes: "14 seconds, 15 seconds…" in post 2627…

Next thing you know the alarm is going off on the watch in Q post 2647 in which the pictured watch is shown at 3:14:40.

Just a theory. I had noticed that the last 2 numbers on some time stamps were appearing to be either countng downward like 13:12 or upward like 14:15.
