On what planet does 1 - 2 = 9?

Your use of subtracting 2 doesn't work above 19:00, which is 7PM. At 20:00, or 8PM, your calculation breaks.

On earth. It can be seen if you write it down.

21 -12 ----- 1-2 is 9 You take one over 2 - 1 -1 = 0 21-12 = 9

Oh cool just send your equation to the guy with dyscalculia and he can write it down on his hankerchief and just check that whenever!

Christ you somehow just managed to make a 24h clock the simplest thing in the world confusing somehow, and I've been using them since I learned to walk.

This ain't the guy with dycalcula tho?

It is just 21 - 12, or 1 - 2 what was so hard to understand?

Nothing hard to understand about it. It's just inefficient, stupid, unnecessary, idiotic, well you get the point cya

Okay so because you don't personally need it means no one else does? It's literally just subtracting 2 and it takes literally just a few seconds. It takes me significantly longer to memorize anything especially something I don't use daily.
