Someone has developed a procrastinator’s clock that is probabilistically inaccurate. The idea behind the clock is that if you merely set your clock ahead by, say, 10 minutes then you know the clock is always ten minutes fast and so you will adjust accordingly. But this probabilistic clock is always somewhere between 0 to 15 minutes fast. Consequently, you never know the correct time and so can’t correct for the clock’s inaccuracies. The clock, therefore, is supposed to increase your punctuality by deliberately introducing bias into your timekeeping.
