Vita flipped open her book so she had everything she'd need to know right in front of her, knowing she'd need to go back and reference often. She still wasn't feeling completely confident about this whole Arithmancy thing, but she could pretend and she could certainly draw conclusions based on the information she was looking at, even if she wasn't sure they'd be correct.

Broken Clock Analysis

8 4 2 0 1 6 0

Looking at the central digit, 0, it shows a connection between the broken clock and the ideas of death and finality. Clocks show the passage of time, and one could say that when your metaphorical clock stops, that means your time in this world has come to an end. A broken clock could certainly represent the end of a person's life. It could also mean emptiness and decay. The clock is broken, dead, so to speak. So perhaps it is empty, useless to anyone now. It's a bit sad to think about. The 6 0 is another clue that the clock is empty, so to speak. The combination of numbers means that something negative and bad happened to the item, and it was stripped of its usefulness.

The 8 is connected to life and infinity. Clocks do go round and round, showing the passage of time for as long as they're operational. On a deeper level, the clock while it worked could've represented the time someone had in their life to accomplish things.

The 4 makes sense when you think about the relation to structure. Clocks provide a way to organize your life, really.

The 2 and the connection to duality could relate to the ideas of life and death touched upon in some of the other numbers.

The 1 on its own doesn't make as much sense to me, but the 0 1 combination represents muggle objects with no magical use and from previous numbers, we have learned this broken clock's purpose has been stripped away, leaving it just a mundane object.
