We wanted to check the clock at the wrong time but read the correct time. Since a broken clock is right twice a day, we broke the clock, which solves our problem some of the time!

The nice thing is that a fully broken clock is accurate more often than a slightly deviated clock.

Only if the deviated clock is fast. If a clock is, instead, slow, it is correct more often than a stopped clock.

A clock that's 5 seconds, 5 minutes, or 5 hours ahead, or counts an hour as 61 minutes, is still more useful than a clock that does not move it's hands at all.
