post-midnight.

This is how I've been thinking about it:

Look at the current time (7:30 am).

Subtract 7 hours = 12:30 am

Add 24 hours.

12:45 AM as I type this. It's never too early to start tailgating. Let's start with an international "Give me a C!!!!"

Wow, Dan Rubenstein is at the game.

Sydney is bear territory. That is all...

Beautiful blue sunny skies. Boarding the busses in half an hour for the tailgate.

It's 3:30 pm right now on the West Coast.

3:30 + 17 = 20:30

20:30 = 8:30 pm.

It's not 8:30 pm in Australia.

What I mean is that it's easier to go backward then forward.

When it's 10 pm here, it's easier, at least to me, to subtract 7 and tack on a full day.

When it's 7 pm here, it's noon there, noon tomorrow.

Umm, no need for mental gymnastics. There are probably a million apps out there that will show you dual time. I have an app called FoxClocks sitting on bottom status bar of my browser showing me local time, London time (weekly online gaming with UK blokes), and Melbourne (not sure why that's still there, but I used have a direct boss who lives in Melbourne).

15:30 + 17 = 32:30, or 8:30am

Lol

Wait ... This is even easier ...

ADD five hours and change from AM to PM (or vice versa)....

That's right. Introducing military time makes it complicated, not easier, if you're not used to military time and trying to think quickly.

The point is most of us are used to 1-12 hour clocks. So a number like 17 takes slightly more time to deal with than a number like 7.

It's basically the same thing as subtracting 7 hours and adding a day, except a bit faster because you get a sense of what time of day it is in the first step.
