Irrational Numbers Wall Clock

#HH6134 $34.95

  On our charmingly quirky wall clock, irrational numbers--those that can't be represented by simple fractions--replace the usual markings of a traditional clock face. The numbers, though admittedly "irrational," are logically arranged. For example, pi (3.14159…) is just a few degrees past where a three would normally be. Mathematicians and other numerical whizzes (engineers, accountants…anyone with a fancy calculator) will derive a virtual eternity of laughs from this clever home or office accessory. Black with white details, the 12"-diameter metal clock runs on one AA battery.
