**Yuru Yuri Season 2, Episode 4, 12:16**

It stopped working but at 99 o'clock. If it's just the reflection (image)
shouldn't it be 88:88? Even if it is inverted it will be 18:66, 66 min, but it
is not inverted and after repair it shows the time as 15:49. So is that a
mistake or there is something really funny which I am not able to get?

How can a clock stop working at 99 o'clock?


It's rather simple, actually − the electronic controller must have experienced
a failure and the memory module ended up with unexpected remaining electrical
charge when it started working again, but the clock was not designed to
counter this possible error, so it does not reset the memory, which results in
impossible time, like in this Russian Elektronika-6 clock:
