At one time or another, you've probably woken up in the middle of the night, checked the clock, and noted whatever MMC Time it was - whether it be 337, 448, or whatever. You grunt the satisfied grunt of the true ASL Aficionado, roll over, and go to sleep.
Seems like this happens a lot. But.... how often does it REALLY happen? What are the odds?
Fear not, my brothers, for I Have Done The Math.
Only counting official (ie, not TPM) infantry units with three digits since that's the minimum that a digital clock will display, it turns out there's 46 unique triads that are also possible times, from the mighty 838 down to the lowly 106, and even counting the ML10 leaders and Heroes, wounded and non.
Over the course of a 12-hour cycle, we of course have 720 separate times, and I sure hope they're all unique, because otherwise we'll have to redo the math.
So, 46/720 = 6.38888...%, which is interesting because there's actually no 638s in the game.
So there you have it. One out of every 15.5 times, it's Infantry Time. Now go get some sleep.
