[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5457046, member: 42169"] THIS. However, it actually came about due to the 40 minute gap between the length of Earth's day and the length of Mars' day. However, the timing/configuration of the 40 minutes all depends on the region's traditions. For instance, Setenza and Victoria Town both observe noon rest. Whereas Setenza doesn't treat it as being mandatory, Victoria Town as it mandated through Union Bi-Laws. The Transporter's guild and Aetherton breaks the 40 minutes into two 20 minute rests (one at noon, one at midnight). Sultan's Throne, Libya and misc. islamic towns/cities uses the 40 minutes for their daily prayers. The other widely known observance of the 40 minute "rest" tends to have it occur at Midnight ("Witching Hour"). The odd balls are Olympia which do not have a "40 minute" clock-reset (so their clocks are rarely in sinc with any other city-state). There is also two "Martian clocks" that some locations use. One is a slow running 24 hour clock, and the other uses 20, 74 minute long hours. [/QUOTE]
