What do you mean by "synchronize clocks" if i dare to ask?

Do you mean synchronize ...the time?

or

synchronize ...duration?


synchronize ...simultaneous?

synchronize ...events?



I don't think it's even possible to synchronize a horse race! Some horse
is going to get out
of the gate sonner than the other horse, and some horse will
win because he got a bigger nose.

Is the clock hands...synchronized?

Have you ever heard a bunch of cuckoo clocks synchronize cuckoos????

They should sing in harmony.

    cukoo?

Whoever invented the cuckoo clock was...cuckoo.


There are a lot of cuckoos in here.


Should we synchronize cuckoo clocks?


An atomic cuckoo clock?
