i. Almost every positive integer is composite.
ii. Almost every prime has more than 1000 digits.
Are the above statements true?
Please comment.

Here's where I have trouble: If the timers go off 0 to 10 minutes _exclusive_, that is (0< t < 10) and not (0 <= t <= 10) then is there or is there not a last timer to go off? And how could there not be a last one? I think Zeno wrote on this...
Also, as Charlie aptly pointed out, the loss of simultaneity due to SR confounds the problem further: sufficiently near clocks running out could have their run-out events as space-like events rather then time-like events. In this case no one could say which clock ran out first. The confused observer would be in a moving frame, but then again, in an expanding Universe, we all are.
