^12.* - Times starting with 12
.*11.* - Times containing 11 anywhere
^[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]$ - Times with all digits 0-5
(\d)\1 - Times with repeated digits

Educational Applications

Mathematics: Learn about number patterns, sequences, and properties
Programming: Practice regular expressions and pattern matching
Time Concepts: Understand how digital clocks work and display time
Problem Solving: Develop logical thinking through pattern recognition
Fun Learning: Make mathematics more engaging and entertaining

Frequently Asked Questions

What are palindrome times?

Palindrome times are clock times that read the same forwards and backwards. For example, 12:21, 13:31, and 23:32 are all palindrome times. They create a sense of symmetry and are often considered special or lucky.

How do I create a custom pattern?

Select "Custom Pattern" from the pattern type dropdown and enter a regular expression in the text area. For example, use "^12.*" to find times starting with 12, or ".*11.*" to find times containing 11 anywhere. The pattern matches the time digits without colons.

Can I include seconds in the patterns?

Yes! Check the "Include Seconds" option to generate times with seconds included. This allows for more detailed patterns and increases the total number of possible combinations. For example, 12:34:56 would be a sequential time with seconds.

What is the difference between 12-hour and 24-hour format?

12-hour format displays times with AM/PM indicators (e.g., 12:21 PM), while 24-hour format uses a 24-hour clock (e.g., 12:21). The pattern matching works the same way, but the display format changes how the times appear in the results.

How many results can I generate at once?

You can generate up to 1,000 results at once using the "Maximum Results" setting. If there are more matching times than your limit, the tool will show the first N results and indicate how many total matches were found.

Can I save or export the results?

Yes! You can copy all results to your clipboard using the "Copy Results" button, or download them as a text file using the "Download" button. The text file will be named based on the pattern type you selected.

What are Fibonacci times?

Fibonacci times follow the famous Fibonacci sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. For example, 01:12 (1, 1, 2), 01:23 (1, 2, 3), and 02:35 (2, 3, 5) are all Fibonacci times. This sequence appears frequently in nature and mathematics.
