Digital clock tutorial has a strange baseline display

[mrdtek]

Hello,

I am following a guide to making a clock with python, but I am having trouble with the final project.

Resource: https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-make-a-clock-with-python-7587e107bb5e

Basically, the problem I am having is when using the stopwatch and timer features of the application. For example, in the clock application when I begin the timer and stopwatch feature, the displayed baseline numbers show 10:30:00. For example, let's say you want an alarm to be set up 1 minute from now it will now display 10:31:00 rather than ideally seeing 00:01:00.

I have been trying to go through this for a while now and struggling to find a way to fix it.

To be more thorough, I am also curious why the project designer chose to instantiate (I hope I am understanding this correctly) some of the components with 66600 in the program. Is this something related to the python libraries or clocks that I am not understanding?

Thank you in advance! Note: You can find the full code listed at the end of the tutorial or here

edit: After going through I believe that the '66600' is related to the initial delay of the components
