It it wasn't for the "positions" of these equations, I'd take ages to tell what the time is
BTW:
For those mathematicians amongst us, there is a single error in one of the equations.
Can you identify which clock and which equation is in error?
Can anyone tell the time?

Re: Can anyone tell the time?
I assume the error is
Spoiler
52 + X^2 - X = 10 for 7
I suspect this should read 52 - X^2 + x = 10
I suspect this should read 52 - X^2 + x = 10

Re: Can anyone tell the time?
Spoiler
On the first clock, the equation for 7 o'clock should have been
10+x2-x=52
(although this also has x=-6 as solution, in addition to x=7)
10+x2-x=52
(although this also has x=-6 as solution, in addition to x=7)
Best wishes,
