I hope you didn't throw them away, those are for use on the other side of the boards

So, does any of this explain why my metronome keeps speeding up and slowing down? I keep replacing them, but the new ones always seem to be broken too...

That's because newer metronomes are keeping Chinese time.

Has anyone considered that they have not pressured the baidu search engine because it points to CHINESE porn sites and doesn't display sex acts by these barbarian round eyed animals like Google does??
