There's a room with a huge clock in the temple/science warp zone. I think I just have to wait until something appears, but how long should I wait?

There are four anticubes in the clock puzzle. Each will show when one of the clock's four hands hit the top. There is a limited window for catching the anticube before it disappears. The times differ between consoles, but the hands' speeds are the same:

  • Red cycles every minute.
  • Blue cycles hourly.
  • Green cycles daily (24 hours).
  • Gray cycles every week (7 days).

You'll need to check your clock and figure when it'll hit the top. Either check back then or change your 360's time from the system settings (you'll need to disconnect from the Internet).

E.g., my blue always hit at :15 past the hour, my green always hit at 7 p.m. (once a day), and my gray hit at 4 a.m. with a rather large window (since it moves slowly).

Interestingly, my grey hit at Jan 6th, 8:12 am. I thought this was based on another clue, but I guess it was coincidence? – EBongo May 1 '12 at 0:46

For the clock room you just have to wait until each hand reaches the 12:00 postition on their perspective. From what I've seen they move at different speeds. From fastest to slowest is: Red, being the seconds hand. Blue, most likely minutes hand. Green, I am guessing hour hand. White, I have no clue, but I hope it isn't a days hand.

The white hand of the clock creates an anticube around 12:00 noon, so try setting your 360's clock to a few minutes before that (after disconnecting from Xbox Live). As far as I know it activates at noon regardless of how often you've visited the clock or when you started the game.
