A man with one clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. We have no data on a man with 106 clocks.
A man with 106 clocks can be sqrt(106) times more confident in knowing what time it is.

Why sqrt? The ensemble is 1-P(Wrong time probability for a single clock)^106

If even a portion of them chime the hour: the man is insane.
Me: patiently explaining how I, a 106 clocks enthusiast, havent stolen any clocks, to the authorities at my door to no avail as the roaring cacophany of time clangs bangs and bongs behind me.
