Sorry about the last post. #%$$%@$($^! thing got out to the net quicker
than I could delete it. Sigh.
Anyway, as has already been mentioned, skipping a beat won't work. Remember,
a sidereal day is *shorter* than a "real day," so you want the clock to
reach 00:00:00 *sooner* than a "regular" clock; it needs *more* beats per
day to do this. Adding one "beat" every four minutes, rather than skipping
one, would be the way to go - although I'm taking your word for it on the
four minutes, as I haven't worked out the math myself.
