Once Ambi was waiting for his train. An LED screen displayed 1244, which was the number of the next train to be arrived. A guy sitting nearby looked at the number and asked: "The time is quarter to one, right?"
Ambi looked at it and replied to him, smiling: "Brother, that thing does not show time."
He asked, feeling a little hurt:" Then what is it showing?"
"It is showing the train number.", Ambi explained.
"Oho", he showed a villager's embarrassment.
A little later, recovering from it, he asked: "What is the time, then?"
As there was no watch, Ambi looked at another LED display, which was actually showing time.
What Ambi saw is this: 12:45
This incident would later contribute heavily to Ambi's theory regarding convergence of train numbers and time at noon.
What kind of theory is that?
