The event was not open to the public like other building events, so it is kind of hard to get pictures.
When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened.

Ok, then does anyone have images of their own clocks. I'm interested in what other winning clocks looked like. The ones I remember seeing did not so great.

Looking at my master scoresheet, you must be from Eastview. You got 8/25 right on the test. The average was 9/25. The best score was 18/25. As I told everyone at the start of the test, I deliberately made it long and difficult, so that part of the strategy is in tackling the ones you know best first. I don't think there was anything not appropriate for the event on the test, but I'm always open to feedback or suggestions. Hopefully you learned something though in the process of competing, which is really what SO is all about. Good luck next year!
looking back at the test, i think it could have had more about the different systems of timekeeping. i had a humongous binder, but i guess i didn't have information on the right topics
