Because the task is called "Draw a clock", rather than "Draw a timer" maybe we should have something about a clock in it. Perhaps: As an option show the face of an analogue clock with animated hour minute and second hands. (or alternatively rename to "Draw a timer".

: Isn't the task description specific enough? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 19:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
::Yeah it is. But it is not really about drawing a clock. We could rename this "Draw a timer". [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 19:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
::FWIW, We could have a task for drawing an analogue clock, which includes showing the numbers round the face, and the animated hour, minute, and second hands. That would be better suited to "Draw a clock". [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 19:35, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:::What does a "timer" look like? Do you mean a stopwatch? "Timer" to me means a text clock (i.e. "00:00:00.000"), which is not what this task wants. I think "clock" is a nice general word to cover lots of possibilities (though not the obviously silly suggestion of a mouth counting "one on thousand"), and it's a word that people use more commonly. "Analog" would be a welcome addition to make sure people don't print numbers alone. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
