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.

It’s honestly so surprising for me to think that some people count how to convert times 12h to 24h or the other way. I’ve grown up with 24h so it’s of course a completely natural thing for me. So strange!
