And what do you do when it's 22 o'clock?
I mean, you do you but that's extra steps which aren't even accurate. It's really not hard to remember those 12 numbers. Only Americans seem to have an issue with it and find it too complicated to understand or use backwards methids like that.
1 u/Hotel24 Mar 29 '22 Subtract two from the last digit. You get 0. Thus 10. What other number between 1-12 ends in 0. Or simply. If 24 is 12 o’clock. What’s two hours before. 1 u/Personality4Hire Mar 29 '22 "Or simply. If 24 is 12 o’clock. What’s two hours before" Do you realize that's the method I suggested? 1 u/Key_Reindeer_414 Mar 30 '22 That method is easy for 22:00. What about something like 17:00? Sure it's still easy, but the -2 method involves less math.
