looks like fun.

3600 . Are they all going to be this easy lol
Sounds like we got a challenger.
Just remember you threw the bait...
I will answer with a harder question.
This question is worth 2 raffle tickets, and can ONLY be claimed by first correct answer.
A fine watch ticks 8 times per second. (balance wheel half oscillates 8 times per second)
A watches's accuracy is often measured per day, or in the higher end or adjusted spectrum it's often measured per month.
In a local watchmaker's opinion on high end watches: 15 second fast or slow should be considered tolerable. (Some manufacturers adhere to stricter time keeping: such as a grand seiko).
Let's pretend all variables (temperature, movement, etc all remain 100% identical).
Measure the maximum error rate of ticks allowed during that month, to meet the 15 second time keeping expectancy.

420-465 seconds per month (28-31 days) or 3360-3720 ticks per month..
Was the 15 sec per day or per month? Chronometer rated watches are −4/+6 per day, +/-15 seconds per month would be phenomenal for a mechanical watch.
If I'm right, which I'm probably not, I would like to donate my raffle ticket to Mel Gibson.

lets see (math is a weakness of mine, but I'll give it a shot)
.0001736111111111111%
or
120 ticks
.0001736111111111111%
or
120 ticks
I am saying 15+ per month period. And yes it is phenomenal however not impossible and certainly doable with many high end watches.
Second I asking for the rate. Not the amount of errors. (Given in a percentage is preferred)
Third forgot an important detail: a month for these purposes will be 30 days.

I require the maximum error rate of erroneous ticks in a month period (measured by 30 days) in percentage form.
PS: Everyone there are no limits to the number of tries. Just don't spam.
This is kind of a derp moment to be honest. So so so so so close yet so far by technicality. I am half tempted to count it but technically very wrong.
Edit: I will tone it down some after this question.
I haven't got a clue .so I will have a wild guess 0.00000566703
