    Even a broken clock is sometimes correct.

    Depends on how it's broken ... if it only has one hand, then it can't
    ever be correct. ;-)

    Used to have a 24hr clock with one hand :)

    There are of course 24hr clocks that only need one hand, but if that
    hand is broken, they too won't ever be correct.

    A sundial also only has one "hand" (although they are rather useless at
    night, so aren't 24hr clocks), and again can't be correct if that gets
    broken.
