[Lab] How to set a clock

[Darcy Whyte]

So here's what I believe to be the best candidate (so far) for setting the
time.

It just requires a switch (and whatever pull resistor).

Using two gestures hold and click.

To set 2:31:
hold
click click
hold
click click click
hold
click
hold

To set 3:02
hold
click click click
hold
hold
click click
hold

If there were not four holds, it throws out your data and goes back to
clock with whatever time it was on. So I guess there's a third gesture
which is wait which abandons the operation.

The worst scenario is 12:59:
hold
click click click click click click click click click click click click
hold
click click click click click
hold
click click click click click click click click click
hold

It's easy enough to do and only requires one switch.
