The "clock cheat" you refer to isn't really a cheat as much as it is a way to speed up the game progress by setting your system clock ahead. That wouldn't help in this situation, since no amount of fast-forwarding is going to produce a master builder. It would speed up getting back to the same point in the game if you were to start over, but many people use their Palms for real work and depend upon the Palm having the correct date and time. Messing with the system clock can wreak havoc with many applications.
