What time is it?
The time is:
HOUR :
NICE_MINUTE AM_PM
The small hand is for the hour, and the big hand is for the minutes.
The hour hand is pointing at HOUR
, so the hour is HOUR
.
The hour hand is between HOUR
and HOUR + 1 === 13 ? 1 : HOUR + 1
, so the hour is HOUR
.
The minute hand is pointing straight up, so it is HOUR
exactly.
The minute hand is pointing straight down, so half an hour has past since HOUR
.
The time is HOUR
:NICE_MINUTE
.
Set the clock to TIME.
The hour hand is the short blue bar and the minute hand is the long red bar.
The number after the \Large{:}
symbol represents the number of minutes past
the hour. So TIME
represents \red{MINUTE}
minutes past hour \blue{HOUR}
.
Since it's \red{0}
minutes past the hour, the hour hand should be right on the
\blue{HOUR}
hour mark.
Since it's \red{30}
minutes past the hour, the hour hand should be halfway between the
HOUR
and
1HOUR + 1
hour marks.
