Tulip clock
Tulip clock: Here is a thought I had at the weekend: If you buy a bunch of tulips and put them in water - they grow. This means you have to keep cutting the stems back to keep the flowers at the original height. Now do all tulips grow at a constant rate - given access to water? If so, could you build a clock based on this principle?

why would you build a clock on that principle?
