Hey,
I have been in my mini a few times in the middle of the night, and if you have you probably noticed it also. I was just wondering why when it becomes midnight, the clock goes to 0:00, 0:01, 0:02, etc. Why is that, it is not on 24 hour time.

Digital clocks are still in their infancy. A minor glitch like this is greatly offset by the substantial benefits offered by this cutting edge clock technology.

I think that it is pretty cool, because I am amused very easily, and I mean very easily, so it's fine, I was just wondering why.

It is quite simply that MINI uses international time format, which uses 00:00 as midnight. It is only 'military' time in the US that uses 24:00 as midnight.

You can also change the setting to AM/PM (standard) time by pushing both min & hour button together!!
