Additionally, at the middle of the screen; the hands on the clock look the same as the other players' clocks. This is just to show where to center the hands to. The player moves the hands by only moving the second hand. Additionally, the faster the hand moves; the more likely the player tries to get a point but have to slow down to get the point. The players’ have to turn what side to turn the hands as they have to pick the closest side as possible.
