There is a difference between 12 midday and 12 midnight.
The answer remains 12:03am... Go to court

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
Grab my weed while I put on my intellectual cap
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

Closest to midnight is 11:55pm 12:00 is midnight anything beyond 12:00 is after midnight. Closest in the true word means close to but not there yet. So A I'd the answer. Abeg I need a nairaland babe to visit me in abuja

Option A said 11: 55am and you said 11: 55pm they are not the same sir.

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Ajens1991: 8:21pm On Jun 23, 2023

There's no 11:55pm there .. check the question again

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.

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by 43Ronin: 8:22pm On Jun 23, 2023

it would take around 20-23 hours to get from 12.05/12:03am to 12 midnight, while it would take just 12hr+5min for 11:55am to get to mid9yt. #offsthemic

11:55am

12am =midnight.

12:03am is 3minutes after midnight. You'll need about 23hrs and 54mins to the next midnight.

12:06am is 6minutes after a new day. You'll need about 23hrs and 54mins to the next midnight.

11:50am is is 11hrs and 50mins after the previous midnight, and it will take you 12hrs 50mins to the next midnight we are heading to.

11:55am is approximately 11hrs and 55mins after the previous midnight. And it will take us 12hrs and 5minutes to arrive at the next midnight.

So 11:55am is the answer

11:55 am is 5 minute to noon not midnight

Oga na B. Reason been that all the time listed there are am,that is they all refers to hot day.and the higher one among them all is 12:06 which is closer to midnight of the next 24 hours been 12 am

Your brain dey work well, well.

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Emempaul(m): 8:23pm On Jun 23, 2023

Answer is A. 11:55am
The closest time " To" midnight not "after " midnight. Understand the sentence and then you get the answer. It's called word problem

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Timijo(m): 8:24pm On Jun 23, 2023

That is where the problem is
Answers 12:03am and 12:06am are wrong grammatically.
It should have been 00:03 am and 00:06am respectively or 12:03pm and 12:06pm

You are right, but remember that "AM" and "PM" should not be written when writing time in 24-hour time. So, the correct ones are 00:03 and 00:06. But the correct answer is 12:03 am as you have mentioned.

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by balingaonline(m): 8:24pm On Jun 23, 2023

The question is indeed logic, but after all the correct answer is A

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by sam1990(m): 8:27pm On Jun 23, 2023

If it's 11:55 then it's ought to be PM and not AM"to" means "before". so it is 11:55am

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

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by Jerrywhite77: 8:29pm On Jun 23, 2023

Obinoscopy:
I'll provide the answer here.

It's A.
The closest time to mid night is 11:55am. As time doesn't move backwards, only forward. At 12:03 am and 12:06am, we just moved slightly past midnight but at 11:55am, we are just 5 mins away from noon and 12 hours away from mid night. For the other options, we are almost 24 hours to mid night except for 11:50am which is 5 mins short from 11:55am.
The answer is A

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by ZainabRK(f): 8:31pm On Jun 23, 2023

If "to" in the context does not mean before midnight, then the answer is 12:03am. You wonder why there's a 1206am option?

Re: Solve This Easy And Yet Tricky Question by DADYLEED: 8:50pm On Jun 23, 2023

Judging by the law of vice versa or all things been equall, I can tell you categorically that,since we have 24 hrs in a day.I will device the 24÷2 which will give me 12.going by the law of gap or distance I learnt that,midnight is a period of time between 11:59 to 12:59.So deciding that gap between the said 11:59 anfmd 12:59 by two (2) places will give you 12:30.In summary judging by my opinion and calculations, I can categorically tell you that my answer is B. For 12:06am is the last period on the options that is closer to 12:30am which is the center of midnight.....

Because there is nothing like 12:00am in time .we have only 0:00am
Then 11:50am is closer to midnight more than 11:55am

Very simple: 11:55am is the closest time to midnight. The rest will take longer than 12hrs 5min to reach midnight.

11:55am is approximately 11hrs and 55mins after the previous midnight. And it will take us 12hrs and 5minutes to arrive at the next midnight.

So 11:55am is the answer

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.
