I got one of these watch yesterday. It tells the time in binary using LED lights.

Never seen one of them before. I would run late to TAFE class every morning if i wore that, even though i study binary as part of my IT network management course.

It's not that difficult once you get the hang, I can already work out pretty quickly.
After a while, you'll probably just 'see' the numbers straight away without having to think about it.
The current time is 0001:000110

I'mnot 100% sure on this, but anyway:
Top row = hours
Bottom row = minutes
Each LED represents one of the binary sequence of numbers (1,2,4,8,16,32). So the top row is made up of:
1 2 4 8
And the bottom row:
1 2 4 8 16 32
You add the totals of all the LEDs that are lit, so the time Bazza scribbled down (0001:000110) is actually
hours (0 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 08) : minutes (0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 16 + 0 = 24)
time = 08:24
Not sure though, as it doesn't fit in at all with his post time lol

Doesn't usually take more than 5 seconds, as that's the length of time they stay lit when you press the button. Would use too much battery if they stayed lit all the time.

And as for wearing it whilst pissed? By the time you and your mates have figured out the time after a night on the lash you've probably already missed the last train home........
