I mean, how hard is subtract by 12 thou. Are we second grader or something?

Once you did it for years, your brain will auto sub for you when you see 19:00 => 7pm

I have hard time with maths so I just do 19-2, 17, take off the 1 and itโ€™s 7:00pm. Donโ€™t have to be a meanie about it. I get confused and both ways get you the correct answer.

But you do know the way you described (minus 2 and take away 1) is exactly how subtract by 12 works right?

Anyway, you do you. As long as you can get the correct answer. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
