Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Harmless1b(m): 9:08pm On Jun 23, 2023
12:03 is the answer

Proof. Put 12;00(which is the midnight) in the middle, the place A,B,C and D at the appropriate spot around 12:00. So command all of them to move to 12:00 at the same place let's see who reach first .

So think of options ABC&grin as neighboring village to 12.00(midnight). Which is closer. 12:03 right?

cos 11.50am to 12 am is Abt 12hrs 10minutes distance between 11.55am to 12am is also 12hrs 5minutes, distance from12.03am to 12am is about 23hrs plus while from 12.06am to 12am is almost 24hrs too,so the answer is 11.55am

12:03am

But after puffin more than three drag of my weed then the answer was 11:55am

Because mid night is exactly 12:00am...consider the word "to"

The distance from 11:55am to 12:00am is the shortest
Compared to others moving in a clock wise direction

I nor go puff more drag of my weed again because if I try am I go arrive at another answer


Change your weed plug brr, 12:03am is still the closest and not 11:55am😌

So you don't know the difference between PM and AM

I am correct.
Use your common sense and go through the analogue wall clock.

Depends on how you define the word "to".
Eg - which child is closest TO the 2nd child in birth order: the 6th child or the first child?

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.
Check the options properlly, there is no 11:55 pm there, all the zones are a.m.
Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Harmless1b(m): 9:32pm On Jun 23, 2023
D. 12:03

Because it's only 3 mins away from 12:00(i.e 3 mins to 12:00) while others is 5mins,10mins and 6 mins respectively to midnight.

the question is the closest time “TO” midnight not the closest time “TO MIDNIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT” the answer is “11:55”…. Anything after that is going “away” from midnight.

The question didn't specify before or after midnight. So you just stressing your brain for nothing.. The answer is D.

They actually made it like that to make people like you fail. That's the trick.

Those people choosing 12:03am, their clock must be moving anti clock wise.
Any body whose clock moves clockwise definitely knows 11:55am to be the correct answer

Seems easy but it's not. The answer is not what you might think it is.

Got it at first glance.

Getting The answer isn't really in the options, but from the question itself.

The question said closest time "to" midnight, not "from" midnight.

The answer is, (A). 11:55am.

Tricky indeed.
For you to get the answer, you might have to reverse hrs and mins backward. Making 11:50am to be your answer.
But if it's forward, then midnight is just 12 hrs 5 min away from 11:55am.
Still think it's 11:50 though.

"To" in this context can mean before or after. Your second answer takes "to" to mean moving towards. But you're wrong.

Let's take this analogy. If I'm sitting inbetween you and your sister. You are on my right hand a foot away from me and your sister on my left is a foot and 2 inches away from me, who is the closest to me?

The correct answer is that 12:03

11:55 am is closer to noon
12:03 am is shortest from midnight
Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Cheche555(f): 11:04pm On Jun 23, 2023
The correct answer is 12:03 am
That's what is close to midnight
11:55am is morning and not night
If it was 11:55 pm then it's midnight but Am is morning and therefore 12:03 is the first you get once it's 12am which is the beginning of a new day

12:03. Am


Ever heard the word 12 midnight?

Nigerian time people. The interval between 12:03am and midnight is 23hours, 57minutes.

The correct answer is 11:55am which interval to midnight is 12hours 5mins.

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.

11:55am you meant?
