Why do they have a whole clock on countdown when they only use half?

When the programme was first about to be aired, all the rules hadn't been worked out. The set designers did not know whether contestants would have 30 sec or a minute to work out the answers, so they built the one minute clock knowing that it wouldn't then matter which timescale was eventually used. Now the clock is seen as one of those familiar, quirky and endearing things about the show.

What is the angle between the 2 hands of a clock when the time is 6 o clock?
180 degrees. The hands are a straight line. Or, to be technical, you divide the clock face (360 degrees) by the number of minutes there are in half a day (clocks only record half a day: AM or PM), which is 360/12*60, so each minute is half a degree. There are 360 minutes between the twelve and the six on a clock. Half of 360 is 180. This only works for times ON THE HOUR, otherwise, the hour hand moves for every minute of time passing.
How does 'Pyro Clock of Destiny' work in YuGiOh?
Pyro Clock of Destiny advances the turn count by one. Normally, this would have no effect on gameplay because of its secondary effect that states that the current turn continues as normal. However, Pyro Clock of Destiny affects cards such as Swords of Revealing Light and Final Countdown. If these cards are active, Pyro Clock of Destiny simply advances their turn count. Swords of Revealing Light will stay on the field one less turn for example and Final Countdown will declare an Automatic Victory one turn faster.

How many whole notes would it take to equal 100 half notes?
An odd number of half notes cannot be replaced by a whole note, unless the half notes are part of a triplet. There are 2 half notes in a whole note, and 4 in 2 whole notes. Three half notes can be represented by 1 whole note and 1 half note. This is only true if the half notes are slurred together in the first place.
