Or they could just start the countdown at 23.59'51". I'll synchronise my watch with UTC later today and see.
(Interesting point: the man responsible for keeping Big Ben on UTC has within the last 36 hours been given an [[MBE]]...is something going on here?) [[User_talk:Gee Eight|Gee Eight]], 31 December 2005 15.12 UTC
Or, to be more accurate (as I understand it) with the idea of a repeating second (at least in some timescales), they could countdown "10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...1...'Happy New Year!'". Of course, I guess it matters which timescale you're using, and I think UTC inserts a second rather than repeating one, so just adjusting the start time of your countdown would probably be more correct for the typical human-used timescale. OK...this didn't really add much to the discussion, but seemed slightly humorous, so I figured I would add it. [[User:Igjeff|Igjeff]] 16:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
