Yet another headline phrased as a question without a clear answer in the article body...
- hugofirth 13y agoHow else would you have an article referring to an open question phrased?

- toki5 13y agoThat's not fair at all. I enjoyed reading about ancient timekeeping and the theories that powered them. I had no idea how they tracked time at night, for example; now I do.
- robmcm 13y ago"The mystery of why is a minute divided into 60 seconds, an hour into 60 minutes?"
- coldpie 13y agoA slight rephrasing of the headline allows us to apply Betteridge's law[1]: "Have we solved the mystery of why a minute is divided into 60 seconds...?" [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines
- Vecrios 13y agoThere is so much interesting information in the article that people really forget what they came for, the answer to the proposed title question. Personally, I wasn't upset at all. I really liked the article although it had a deceiving title.
