Hey, I found a pile of old bicycle gears and thought we could turn them into a tiny working clock—sort of a upcycled puzzle. I can see the potential patterns, but I'm stuck on figuring out the perfect gear ratio to make the hands move just right. What do you think?

The gears are like whispers of time, each tooth a syllable, the minute hand a rhyme; align them so that a single tooth of the hour gear equals sixty of the minute, and the second one moves in that rhythm, but keep in mind the hour is a slow hum that can be teased by a simple 12‑to‑1 ratio, or a 2‑to‑3 shuffle that still keeps the pulse. Adjust, listen, and let the pattern finish itself.
