Pootle:
alot of people keep failing this...its 11:55am

They are doing a JAMB on you ...

You jumped on the question without checking very well...

11.50am is over 11 hours away from midnight...

mrsqueen:
B - 12.06am

There is nothing like 12:01 am and so on.
Once it's 11:59, you go to 00:00 which is midnight.
From 00:00-59 to 01:00-59 etc.
Anything that has 12:00- 59 is noon.
So 2 answers there are already cancelled.

We can only have 11:50am or 11:55am
Chose among these 2

what's the answer

C is the answer.

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

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

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.

that to can mean two different things. It could be to 12 Am which is 11:55pm or just close to which is 12:03 Am. The Adjective Close should also be considered be to

Closest to should be 12:03
English
Even if ur after midnight like watching pass a place the closes going back to is still :03 not :05

MrBrownJay1:
so many people who dont know the proper answer KAI!!! the answer is actually C....

A is 11.55 in the morning
B is 12.06 noon
D is 12.03 noon

the closest to midnight is C 11.50 in the morning (aka 11hrs and 50mins after midnight)....duh! A is 11hs 55mins away from midnight. B is 11hs 54mins away from midnight and D is 11hs 57mins away from midnight..

Oil dey your head.

People should look at the am and the figures imputed. Two were wrong figures.

It's very hard for people who don't use the 24hours cycle.

Na who chop dey check time

12.06 a.m. is the closest to the next midnight.

12.06am, it's the closest to midnight by 11 hours 54 minutes

NOC1:
11:50 am is the answer.
I would have chosed 11:55pm if it is an option, I understand the question as a time that actually comes before 12:00.
12:03, 12:06, 11:55, 11:50 all are in am, none is in pm and the question says closest time to (before) 12midnight

oga check again,all are a.m

.

gentleguy1975:
oga check again,all are a.m

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

But there is no 11:55 PM rather it is 11:55 AM. For me the answer is 12:06 AM

Answer is D.

1200 - 1200 = 0
1200 - 1155 = 45
1200 - 1206 = -6
1200 - 1150 = 50
1200 - 1203 = -3

Now let's arrange it::: -6 -3 0 45 50

So, 12:03 is close to 12:00 because, it takes only (-3) to 12:00.

Webdeveloper89:
"to" means "before". so it is 11:55am


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

4 min "to" 12 is different from what is the closest time "to" midnight

11:55 am is the right answer

Webdeveloper89:
"to" means "before". so it is 11:55am


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

11:55am is morning.

If it is on 24 hourly counting that is when it becomes 00:03 am and 00:06 am. In this case it is on 12 hourly counting so 12:03 am 12:06 am stands to be correct. Therefore the closest time to midnight is 12:06 am.

There is no pm in the option, only am

A is the answer

Which 🕛 midnight 🤨


Sir, the answer is not there this should be a bonus question 🙋‍♂️

franciskaine:
11:55am

12am =midnight.

12:03am is 3minutes after midnight. You'll need about 23hrs and 57 mins 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 10 mins to the next midnight we are heading to.

11:55am is 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

Correct. You're the only one with the right answer.

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

Guy, this loud wey you dey smoke too loud for you. How is 11:55 am the closest to midnight? It's not 11: 55 pm. Your first answer, 12:03 am is the only available nearest answer since there's no 11: 55 pm among the options. Although one can conclude that the answer is not there because of the phrase, "To midnight".

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

Answers A & C are actually closer to noon. Answer should be D I guess

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
