Let me check my understanding of the problem: 1) If you cold boot, the time starts at 6AM of the right day. 2) If you reboot, the time counts from 6AM + the elapsed time of all previous reboots up until the last cold boot. 3) Behaviours 1 and 2 doesn't change if you set the time yourself. i.e., on the next boot/reboot the same thing will happen. Does that summary seem correct?

At the end of each minute, each boy-girl pair is allowed to halve their distance from each other. The boy and girl mathematicians never meet, but after a few minutes the engineers get close enough "for all practical purposes."
