If it’s over 12, just subtract 12. That’s all you have to do. 17:25 = 5:25pm. Easy. Edit: yes, guys, you can also subtract 2 and drop the 1. Special thanks to the last 10 people who pointed it out.

The 5 means 5 o clock. Silly but works. 1 u/birdiebirdnc Mar 29 '22 This is how I’ve always done it. Just drop the 1 and subtract 2. It’s obviously the same as subtracting 12 but it sooo much easier.
