The spinner behaves differently on all four clock settings.
The pendulum always starts at angle=6500.
From there, the pendulum behaves differently on all four clock settings.

===Random Setting===
The pendulum swings slow or fast, randomly, on the random setting. By manipulating RNG, the pendulum can be made to swing much farther than it should; this is known as [[Pendulum Manipulation]].
The pendulum swings with an angular acceleration of 13 or 42, randomly, on the random setting. When a swing didn't pass angle=0 (when the pendulum points straight down), and subsequent swings swap angular accelerations, every swing will have a different amplitude. By manipulating RNG, the pendulum can be made swing with a TASer's desired acceleration. Alternating acceleration 13 and 42 until the pendulum hits angle=0, then manipulating acceleration to keep the acceleration the same value for all future swings, allows the pendulum to swing much farther than it was intended to; this is known as [[Pendulum Manipulation]].
 
A set of swing amplitudes that are connected by swings of alternating accelerations usually starts and ends with two equal and opposite swings that both pass angle=0. When placed in increasing order, these sets of swing amplitudes form the shape of a ladder and are called the steps of the ladder and the swings that pass angle=0 are called rail amplitudes, forming the rails of the ladder. The acceleration that allows them to pass angle=0, and the frames it takes to reach angle=0 are indices of the rail.
 
Sometimes, a rail is sandwiched by two different rail amplitudes. This forms a bridge between the two rail amplitudes.
