Jim has been saying this for past 6-8 years. He will eventually be right.

A broken clock is right twice a day

[tomsthumb]

One going backwards is right four times.

I'm not totally sure this extends your analogy appropriately, but it's an entertaining thought.

Interesting.

- A broken clock is perfectly right twice a day

- A clock going backwards is perfectly right 4 times a day

- A normal, working clock is probably never perfectly right

[mercer]

In the second case at least four times, no?

[SAI_Peregrinus]

Unless it's a 24-hour clock, then it's only once. Or the break isn't just a stoppage but simply a mis-setting. Or running fast or slow, at which point it will be right with some period other than twice/day. (The original phrase specifies a stopped clock, which eliminates the second two exceptions).
