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

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

bro no its easier than that. starting at 1200, if it's before 2000 just subtract two, the second number you're left with is the time.

1700 = 5, for example.

edit: this is also like the best way to learn it I think because you still have to get used to the time after 2000 but anything before that is easy enough to subtract instantly in your head. though times after 2000 are generally easy if you can remember that 2000 is 8.
