each hour in 100 minutes and each minute in 100 seconds.
What time is it when it reads 5:41?

.541 * 24 hours = 12:59:02.4

? I thought the 100 seconds per minute was irrelevant. Why
did it make a difference?

number of seconds from the hours...so, there's 54,100 seconds total. Since
there is 86,400 seconds in a day, and there's 43,200 seconds from midnight to
noon, the time must be in the PM. 3,600 seconds are in a hour, so there are 3
hours and 100 seconds left over. Therefore, the time is 15:01:40, or 3:01:40

How about this approach:
5/10 of 24 ===> 12 hours
41/100 of 60 minutes ======> 24.6 minutes =====>24 minutes, 36 seconds
therefore 12:24:36

Hi Ronald Osher
Your are making a little mistake because, the hours are longer 1/10 hour of
24 hour * 60 minutes = 144 minutes
Ergo
5/10 of 24 ===> 12 hours
41/100 of 144 minutes ===> 59.04 minutes ===> 59 minutes 2.4 seconds.
Therefore 12:59:02.4

24 hr/day * 3,600 sec/hr = 86,400 sec/day
new time units:
hr/day * 100 min/hr * 100 sec/min = 100,000 sec/day
Therefore, 86,400/100,000 = 108/125 sec/new-sec
5:41 = 5 * 100 * 100 + 41 * 100 = 54,100 new-sec * 108/125 = 46,742.4 sec.
46,742.4 secs = 12 hr, 59 min, 2.4 sec. -- it's almost 1:00 pm

I may be making a little mistake...but you are making a little
assumption!
Namely that each new hour is made of 100 new minutes and each new minute
is made of 100 old seconds. But what if Alessandro's friend's clock was
designed according to the following rules:
1) Each Old Day has 10 new hours
2) Each Old Hour has 100 new minutes
3) Each Old Minute has 100 new seconds
(I know it's a stretch, but consider it.)

This clock already exists... it was the original metric clock. It never
caught on though.

It's right, if you make this assumption, it correct you get the time you
calculated, but then you also have accept that a old time like 01:30 in new
time would be 00:150, for me personaly it would be strange to work times
like that.
By the way, whats your opion about Swatch's new internet time beats. I
think it is a good idea, but i doubt it will gets its breakthrough.

100,000 sec day (10*100*100). Compare this to your 86,400 sec/day (24*60*60)
and you get the conversion factor of 108/125 (86,400/100,000). Therefore
54,100 new day sec*(108 old day sec/125 new day sec) = 46742.4 old day sec.
Now divide thia by 3600 old day sec/ old day hrs = 12.984 = 12 hr 59 min 2.4
sec.
