Quiz 2 - Intercrew Peanuts watch

As it's another lazy Sunday, I thought I'd do another time telling quiz.
The watch in question is the Peanuts watch by Intercrew, and has a model code of ic3788. I have also seen it marketed under the name Bacteria. This watch bears more than a passing resemblance to the Tokyoflash Infection, but you can tell the difference if you look closely. The Intercrew watch has matt peanuts on a shiny surface, and a smooth leather strap, whereas the Tokyoflash version face has a matt surround and dark bacteria, and a textured leather strap.
As for telling the time, it uses 27 coloured LEDs - but the rest of the info cones once someone works out "What Time is Displayed???"


[UPDATE] Again, a correct answer came through Facebook. You can tell the time as follows: The red lights are hours, the orange lights are groups of 5min, and the green lights are 1s. So it is 10:8*5 +4 = 10:44

It's quite a challenging watch to tell the time quickly with, as it normally takes a little while to count the orange lights, but after wearing it a while you start to recognise key points and can work from there.
