As long as both periods are rational numbers, it doesn't matter, and it 
can work. For this purpose (display for humans), it doesn't matter if 
some seconds have 32768.xxx cycles and some have 32767.yyy, as long as 
they average to exactly 32768.  Being off by a whole lot less than the 
time it takes an LCD segment to change contrast won't hurt anything.
