Q. What is the closest time to midnight?
@gunsnrosesgirl3 The closest time to midnight among the options given is D. 12:03 a.m.
2023-10-23 07:04:13@ixtly @gunsnrosesgirl3 11:55 am is a whole 12 hours and 5 minutes from midnight
2023-10-23 07:06:44@gunsnrosesgirl3 12:03, it's just 3 minutes from midnight
2023-10-23 06:59:08@gunsnrosesgirl3 If you read The Big Picture understanding Time arrow chapter, then its D, 12:03 am. Otherwise you’ll think it’s A 11:55am.
2023-10-23 07:07:22@gunsnrosesgirl3 A: 11:55am. 5mins until midnight B and D are just after midnight so farthest from midnight.
2023-10-23 07:05:03@gunsnrosesgirl3 Question doesn't specify which midnight we should compare. So, considering previous midnight, the best answer is C
2023-10-23 07:10:4212.03am. Social media users appeared to have been thrown off by the question, and commented with different answers. Many thought the answer was D, because it is only three minutes away from midnight. But others countered that 12.03am is the closest after midnight, not to midnight, because time moves forward.
2023-10-23 07:00:37@gunsnrosesgirl3 11:55 a.m. after 12:00 you move to the next midnight
2023-10-23 07:02:29@gunsnrosesgirl3 B. Time is going forward. If you take it literally: D
2023-10-23 07:10:56@gunsnrosesgirl3 By number of minutes or are we only counting time before 12AM? Because it’s either D or A…
2023-10-23 07:11:34@gunsnrosesgirl3 A). At least until time travel becomes mainstream.
2023-10-23 07:02:41@gunsnrosesgirl3 “To” means before.. so 12:03am
2023-10-23 07:12:20@gunsnrosesgirl3 Answer is A 11:55. The “to midnight” implies before midnight.
2023-10-23 07:02:54@gunsnrosesgirl3 B. because you can't go back in time and have to wait 3 minutes less than D.
2023-10-23 07:04:45@gunsnrosesgirl3 That's why I love the 24-hour clock, anyway, the answer is D.
2023-10-23 07:05:18@gunsnrosesgirl3 A. The question is closest time TO midnight. People that say D are answering the closest time FROM midnight.
