The rate of which clock is regulated by putting a coin on its pendulum?
Correct answer: Big Ben

As a radio disc jockey, back in the day when we played vinyl, we'd oftentimes put a dime or 2 on the needle compartment to make certain the needle would stay in place after the grooves had worn out due to overplay of the record.

I’ve always enjoyed informative comments but the people that nitpick so much must have terribly sad lives.

Big Ben is the bell in the tower not the clock.

The period of a pendulum is not affected by its weight, just its length from the pivot to the center of mass. When you put coins higher up on the pendulum you also move the center of mass up and you'll get a "shorter" and therefore faster pendulum.

does adding weight not slow a pendulum?

SpencerAThompson, it's named QE2 tower also had the names of St Stephens tower and simply the clock tower

Big Ben refers to the bell in the Palace of Westminster Clock Tower. The correct answer should be The Palace of Westminster Clock

Big Ben is the bell actually and not the clock.

interesting. I wonder how many coins have been stacked at one time? or if it ever gets back to no coins?

Snowman 64, you can also learn a lot by watching PBS. That's where I learned this. 😊
