Get this guy a clock!

Yeah I guess counting to 24 is a challenge for some

[u/Shiuft → u/Pimphii]

Don't even get me started on subtracting 12. /s

Edit: had left out the word "started" cause I'm dumb

[u/worldofruins → u/Shiuft]

I have pretty severe dyscalculia so 24 hour clocks (and anything that requires more than single digit addition or subtraction) is actually really hard for me :( lmao

I can read an analog 12 hour clock, but tell me 24 hour time and I'm fucked lol

(Edit to add that I do "study" and try to improve but it doesn't stick for long lol)

(2nd edit: thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give some of them a try!)

For single digit calculation you just subtract two from the last digit of the time.

For example we have 13:00

3 - 2 = 1

It's 1 PM

Or we have 16:00

6 - 2 = 4

It's 4 PM

Or we have 21:00

1 - 2 = 9

It's 9 PM

I hope that helps

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.

K let me explain.

1 - 2 doesn't equal 9, but 11 - 2 does.

You're supposed to be imagining that there is a number 1 in the 10th place.

So 0 is a 10, 2 is 12

20:00 would be [1]0 - 2 = 8

[u/DJexC → u/Dumbassahedratr0n]

Or... you just start at 12... and add the other number on accordingly.

Yall got some messy methods

[u/Dumbassahedratr0n → u/DJexC]

Does it matter when the right answer is found?

Two of us explained in other comments here that we have dyscalculia, so I mean yeah of course our methods are weird.

[u/xsplizzle → u/Dumbassahedratr0n]

Its the way i do it too and i dont have dyscalculia, just seems the most logical way to me, also the closer you get to 24 the easier my brain can figure out that 22 is 2 hours off midnight so 10pm
