I'm running this script in an xterm:

while true; do date -u; sleep 10 ; done

Tuesday Feb 22 afternoon, it may emit:

...
Tue Feb 22 22:22:12 UTC 2022
Tue Feb 22 22:22:22 UTC 2022
Tue Feb 22 22:22:32 UTC 2022
... 

Them's a lotta 2s, and there won't be more 2s for 200 years.
And that will be a Friday, not a twos day.

Or not, the stuff besides the "sleep 10" will take a few
milliseconds as well.

Anyway, if someone is feeling ambitious, they can write a better
script with a more accurate clock mechanism.  Perhaps start up
at 22:21 UTC, highlight 22:22 UTC, finish at 22:23 UTC, then
screenprint the xterm window.

Please send code!

Or if you don't get the script debugged in time, 22:22 PDT.
But that isn't cricket, is it?  More like basketball.
