Mirror hours

A mirror hour is a time whose digits repeat (11:11) or read the same both ways (21:12). Pick yours: we show you what the two numerology calculations give, how often you run into it, and what no one can know about it.

Double hours

The minutes repeat the hour. There are 24 a day.

Reversed hours

The minutes read the hour backwards. There are 13 a day.

What about tripled hours?

04:44, 22:32: three identical digits out of four. There are 76 a day, too many for a page each. Type the time you saw into the box above: you'll get its two calculations.

How many a day
