18:57 according to my computer - but its about five minutes slow. The Poly clock say 19:11.
Is there a reason its ahead of time by ~10 minutes?

Maybe it's set about an hour fast each day to compensate for server slowdown. By midnight, it'll be bang on time.

time all over the world is wrong anyways. How is your time right? Do you synchronize it with the atomic clock in Colorado?
And in a related note, how does the U.S. goverment know the atomic clock was set to the right time to begin with? Did they measure the angle the earth was to the sun? How does anyone know what time it is?Comment

Its so that you look at the 'Poly clock and think "ah crap, I have to go to my lesson now" and get there on time, rather than 5 minutes late.
Until you figure out that that is what's going on...Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

Time is arbritrary, but it helps if we have some kind of standardization - therefore we agree to run on the same time +/- hours or half hours. Poly is bucking the trend and created its own time zone.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

the atomic clock is located in the U.S. not Greenwhich.
and this should be obvious. But I will spell it out. You can use that source as an accurate source of time. What you do then is add or subtract hours depending on what time zone you live in. Jeez.Comment

There's a reason why your timezones are GMT + whatever...
