A binary clock works by indicating its time as combinations of powers of two. Consider the example below. Let's say I've built a very simple 60-second binary egg timer. My binary egg timer is just a wooden board with 6 light bulbs plugged in a horizontal row. The position of the lights, and whether they are on or not, would indicate how many seconds are left by adding together powers of two. 60-second Binary Egg Timer: Light 1 : Light 2 : Light 3 : Light 4 : Light 5 : Light 6 represents the following values 2^5 (32) : 2^4 (16) : 2^3 (8) : 2^2 (4) : 2^1 (2) : 2^0 (1) The egg timer starts with 60 seconds, so my board would be lit up as follows (O=on, X=off): OOOOXX = 2^5+2^4+2^3+2^2 = 32+16+8+4 = 60 seconds with 33 seconds to go my board looks like this: OXXXXO = 2^5+2^0 = 32+1= 33 seconds with 15 seconds to go my board looks like this: XXOOOO = 2^3+2^2+2^1+2^0 = 8+4+2+1 = 15 seconds et cetera. All the seconds between 1 and 60 can be represented via combinations of powers of two. When the timer has run out no lights are on (XXXXXX) indicating zero seconds. This is the principle behind binary clocks except they have to indicate hours and minutes as well. The hours section of a binary clock only needs 5 lights to indicate 24-hour time. You can use the same principle to count up to 2^9=512 using your fingers!

What are the applications of binary counters?
Binary counters are used in simple timing operations. They can generate clock signals among many other less than complex operations.

Why does your clock not work in your peugeot 206 when your stereo is plugged in?
If you clock does not work in your Peugeot 206 when the stereo is plugged in, check the clock fuse. You should also ensure you do not have a wiring problem.
What do you do when binary bard tries to operate the clock on Super Villain Island?
There are 4 power connections on the clock that spark briefly when both hands of the clock connect to the numbers 3, 6, 9, or 12 (for example, 3 o'clock, or 9 o'clock). Use the Stopwatch when the hands are there and you will short out the clock. After 3 times, the clock disappears and you receive the Astrolabe Totem.
