Actually, the most common time for an analog clock (the ones with hands, rather than digital) is 10:10. If you visit a clock web site, you'll see that most of them are set at this time. This is done to give the face of the clock symmetry and to give it a sort of 'smile.' * Anything below 9 and 3 looks sort of sad. * Any hand pointed at the six could be 'broken'. * Hands that are straight across just don't look right.
