Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI came up with a very easy way to remember how to adjust your clocks tonight.
1) Set one half of all your clocks ahead one hour.
2) Turn the remaining half of your clocks back one hour.
3) Whenever you want to know what time it is, walk around your house with a pen and notepad and write down the time shown on each clock.
4) Load the times into an Excel spreadsheet.
5) Use a formula in Excel to find the average of those times.
6) Go to Google and type the following into the search bar exactly like this: "How the fuck does it go with the time change, Spring up, or what the hell is it"?
7) Google will say "spring forward, fall back".
8) Then, type the following into the Google search bar: "What month is this"?
9) Google will respond "November".
10) Since November is in the Fall, subtract one hour from the average result you obtained in step #5.
11) The result of this subtraction will tell you what time it is.
