Comment 1 Bharadwaj Raju 2025-03-14 16:29:40 UTC 
It's not jumping to 16, it's binary-coded decimal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal).

It's how most binary clocks operate. Each of hours, minutes, seconds consists of two columns, representing the tens and ones places.

That means, for example,

(8)   0  0
(4)   0  1
(2)   0  0
(1)   1  0
        T O

Is to be read as (1 * 10) + 4 = 14

In that case I am very sorry for flagging this as a bug. I thought it worked differently when i had used it previously, but i probably misremembered. 

Thank you very much for your kind response and have a nice day!
