11:55am is almost 12 hrs past midnight o, if it were to be 11:55 pm then your analysis would have been correct.
Webdeveloper89:
"to" means "before". so it is 11:55am


if the question is "away from" or "past", then it will be 12:03am

According to chat GPT

The closest time to midnight is D. 12:03 am. This is because midnight is 12:00 am, and 12:03 am is only three minutes after midnight. Option B, 12:06 am, is also close to midnight, but it is six minutes after midnight, making option D the closest time. Options A and C are in the morning hours and not close to midnight at all

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Treadway: 7:34pm On Jun 23, 2023
None!

All the answers says 'am' and not 'pm' which would be the correct precursor to midnight. Only one that seesm somewhat valid if the 'to midnight' phrase isn't cast in stone would be 12:03am

11:50am and 11:55am are precursors to 12noon, not 12 midnight.

if the question is "away from" or "past", then it will be 12:03am

11:55am Is still morning cus of the 'AM'.. Midnight comes after the 'PM'.

Fuckyoumod:
Here is the trick, Time is always calculated in two ways.

After the hour and To (before the hour)

After 12:00 am - starts counting just a minute after 12:00am.
While To or before the hour of 12:00 am - This means that the time isn't 12:00 am yet.
Some minutes are still left before it hits 12:00 am.

Now, in this context the question is actually referring to - To (before) 12:00 am, Meaning it's not yet 12:00 am.

The only right answer to the time that is nearest to - (To) 12:00Amis 11: 55 pm.

I know a lot of people would go for 12:03am, Because is just 3 minutes apart. But they are wrong.

This is why it's a tricky question.


Where you see 11:55 pm?
