Tick, Tock

And the take-away for your session is:

1. Make sure the floor is nice and bouncy.

2. Keep playing and playing. You'll all get it right ... eventually.

Good old Christiaan Huygens, mathematician, astronomer and clock inventor, was the first to observe this synchronization phenomenon. He had invented the pendulum clock and noticed that the pendulums of two of them mounted on the same wall would become synchronized after some time. It's still fascinating. And one of those things that probably noone would have ever thought of as a possibility if it hadn't been observed, so it makes sense that it was a clockmaker and inventor of the pendulum clock who got to see and describe it first.

What does it say about me if I found that utterly fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable?

(... Or that I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if they'd fall out of sync again?)

Wait. Don't answer that.

Conformity over accuracy?
Compromise over Precision?
Futility of individuality?

If they wanted cool they should have done it with 32 Ozzy bobble heads banging their head.

Ok, maybe not, but it does leave an odd mental image.
