In Response To: Why 10:07:45 and day 8? ()

That's not a stupid question at all. People ask about it all the time. The most plausible answer seems to be that 10:10 (or 10:07:45 for that matter) is the best position to place the hands as they will not obscure any writings on the dial. I don't know about the date. 8 is the fattest number, I guess.
