Faster Than the Rest
I stop and go 86,400 times a day.
I only stop and go one way.
I am faster than the rest
But that doesn't make me the best.
What am I?

What am I?
Answer
A second hand on a clock.Meanings:
Stop and go 86400 times - there are 86400 seconds in a day and when a second is passed the second hand stops and pauses before moving on.
One way - second hand only moves clockwise.
Faster than the rest - the second hand is faster than the minute and hour hands.
Doesn't make me the best - it doesn't make it better than the minute or hour hands.

I was fairly sure of the answer but did the math just to be sure. Nice one, but not that hard. But hey they all can not be hard or else we would give up on these things.
I didn't know the pendulum on the clock goes 86,400 times per day.....But when you said only go one way, My first thought was it must be a circle. This is the first time i've hit myself for not getting the answer.
The 86400 part gave it away
