A time clock that stores hundredths turns 1 minute into 0.02.
The smallest value a punch clock can show
0.02 is what a hundredths time clock records for a single minute: 1 ÷ 60 = 0.0167, rounded up. Nothing smaller ever appears from a punch, because 0.01 would need a 36-second entry and clocks store whole minutes. Converting 0.02 back gives 1 minute 12 seconds, 12 seconds more than the minute that produced it.
