Nice.
Although in some countries the position of the mark in 565.293 would be read as a decimal separator causing that hour to be read as 0.002

Although in some countries the position of the mark in 565.293 would be read as a decimal separator causing that hour to be read as 0.002

As it would be cheaper for the manufacturer to build only 1 version, a working solution for any country: 1.000 * (565,293 - 565,291 )
(if '.' is thousands separator and ',' is decimal separator --> result = 2
(if '.' is decimal separator and ',' is thousands separator --> result = 2

Enjoyed...

1.000 * (565,293 - 565,291 )

Just one word: brilliant

If thousand separator is "," won't the result be 2000?

No, it would be 2 according to my android calculator

Edit: note the the 1.000 has a dot (.)
And 565,293 has a comma (,)

So it will be or:

1* (2)
Or
1000*(0.002)

ps, we can tell now that @JordiCP is a very smart person. i would never have thought about that solution.

Thanks Ilan, but seriously I do not consider myself specially smart. Just enjoy thinking outside the box in my leisure time, since it is not always (luckily sometimes it is!) 'convenient' in my paid projects
