A broken clock is right twice a day, but a clock running backwards is right four times a day.

Depends how fast is going backwards

Also depends how the other clock is broken, if we're this picky about it.

That's why the correct term is 'a stopped clock' not a broken one.

Yeah a broken LED clock isn't often right!
