Kim Stanley Robinson in the Red Mars series uses it for a nightly period on Mars where the clocks stop for forty minutes to adjust the Martian 24:40 day to the 24 hour system.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:39, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I read the trilogy too and was wondering why not make clocks work 24:40 a day. Stopping them regularly for 40 minutes seems even more complicated. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 07:47, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
