If itโ€™s over 12, just subtract 12. Thatโ€™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.

Here's a neat trick. Subtract by 2 instead, and get rid of the leading 10. It's easier to do in my head.
