Smooting

Spent the day in Cambridge today.  Found a Harvard trig point.
12 08 04 Harvard University Trig point
Small but sweet.

Was stumped by this mathematical clock.  I can work some of them out - and obviously I know the answers - but 1, 3, 11...?

And the treat of the day was discovering the Smoot measurement.  Harvard Bridge is 364.4 Smoots +/- an ear.

Smoots are marked all the way across the bridge.
