The above picture is a drawing of my Dads mysterious clock.

Not the Typical Mystery Clock!

  This mystery clock was invented many years ago by my father Clyde Wm. Mills of Bountiful Utah. The clock hung on the wall in my folks living room and mystified visitors for years. Everything but the hands and the number ring are transparent. There is no hint of electrical cord or batteries. The hands freely spin on a shaft made out of a straight pin. They constantly tell the correct time and yet float completely free. You can spin both hands and even spin them in opposite directions and they will always settle down to the right time. When turned over the numbers read counter clockwise and the hands turn that way to. There is no visible mechanism or gears. Can you solve the mystery clocks secret? Email me to ask questions or if you think that you can solve the mystery. If you are the first to unravel the mystery I will place your name or if you prefer your screen name in the winners place of honor under the clock. I will also publish the 2nd and 3rd place winners.
We have a first place winner and his deductive reasoning was brilliant!

  Email me (Mr.) Lynn at the following email address, wwindmills@comcast.net  with your hunch, conjecture, theory or guesses as to how you think the clock works and I will respond by telling you if you are right or wrong! Here is your chance to show how smart you are but you will have to think outside the box to solve this mystery!
