Claim One:
1. A time telling teaching aid comprising of, a. a clockface with standard concentric clock indicia of minute segments and hour numerals with the addition of a concentric color and script coded minute ring made up of sixty equal segments, where five consecutive segments complete a sequence of different colors and script between any two hour numerals, b. a base with minute numerals applied clockwise 1 to 59 at 6 .degree. intervals, minute numerals applied counterclockwise 1 to 30 at 6.degree. intervals, a base color and script coded minute ring between said clockwise and counterclockwise minute numerals made up of five equal segments of the same five different sequenced colors and script as found within the forementioned clockface color and script coded minute ring between any two hour numerals, with said base indicia concentric about a pivot hole at a radius greater than that of the peripheral edge of the clockface and with the word "O'CLOCK" applied vertical to, and in the same vertical axes of, said pivot hole at the same radius as the forementioned base indicia, c. a rotatable peripheral ring that covers the indicia of paragraph (b) which has an oblong selector window where said window exposes the forementioned clockwise and counterclockwise minute indicia, the base color and script coded minute ring, and the word "O'CLOCK" at top center at one minute intervals, and where said window has two labels of the same color on each side of the selector window at the same radius as the base clockwise minute numbers with each label having the words "MINUTES AFTER" applied to it and two labels of the same color, but different from the color of the forementioned labels, on each side of the selector window at the same radius as the counterclockwise numbers with each label having the words "MINUTES UNTIL" applied to it, and of the four said labels, the two labels to the right of the selector window, viewing them from the pivot hole towards the periphery, are right-side-up whereas the two labels to the left of the selector window, with the same forementioned orientation, are upside-down, d. a circular spacer of a lesser diameter than the clockface between the clockface and base to allow the securing of said clockface to said base and the free movement of the rotatable peripheral ring around said circular spacer between said clockface and base, e. a minute hand with the word "MINUTES" applied to it with an equilateral triangle forming the point, and f. an hour hand with the word "HOURS" applied to it with an equilateral triangle forming the point such that the tip of said point lies within the clockface color and script coded minute ring, with said triangle made up of two equal sized colored triangles each of a different color such that the color of the triangle adjacent to any previous hour numeral is the same as that of the "MINUTE AFTER" label of paragraph (c) and the color of the triangle adjacent to any succeeding hour numeral is the same as that of the "MINUTE UNTIL" label of paragraph (c), and with said hour hand manipulated separately from the minute hand about the forementioned pivot hole.
