elcome to The Week's "What Next?" contest, an invitation to test your powers of imagination with challenges inspired by current events.
Click here for the results of the previous contest: Obvious studies
Last week's question: Rather than displaying numbers, a $1,100 clock called the Qlocktwo displays common phrases like, "It is a quarter past 12." We asked you what phrase YOUR Qlocktwo would display at some point in the day.
