>>1 While I can agree that military time is confusing...
What I cannot agree with posting an actual thread to discuss the matter instead of just using google to answer your question (although you've already answered; yes, it's military time).

Not too hard, you just need to think about it. Typical day has 24 24 hours. The clock starts at 00:00 (midnight) and moves throughout the day. When it starts to become different from AM/PM time is 13:00, which equals 1:00pm. The clock goes all the way to 23:59, and then resets back to 00:00, starting a new day. It's the literal hour of the day.

After you get used to it, it clarifies some time keeping issues. For example, if I wanted to meet up with a friend of mine at 8pm tomorrow evening, 20:00 doesn't make it more confusing as to when precisely you're meeting. Good luck to you!

>>3 "Not too hard, you just need to think about it."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.


It's difficult. It just is...

I get 16:00 and 6:00PM mixed up....EVERY time.
Was an hour late to work because of this shit...

thank you and I wasn't exactly sure if it was military time only bc I learned it a long time ago and was taught differently

When i was little i had this method.
13:00pm= 13 - 12 = 1pm
14:00pm= 14 - 12 = 2pm
16:00pm = 16 - 12 = 4pm
18:00pm= 18 -12 = 6pm

Just substract 12 to everything.

>>6 Nigga, I just tried subtracting 18-12 in my head, and magically wound up with 4.

8 Name: StrongestBug !5f3Tt7V6fQ : 2015-01-15 20:18 ID:znUw//hE [Del]

Now i got confused.
That's why i need to read the entire thread before doing anything.

>>7 I came up with that when i was 6, and it works.

I knew it, i just wanted you to insult the method so i could say:
"How dare you. You can insult me, but you can't insult the method, the method is perfect!" or something like that.

>>10...You don't get out much do you, mate?
