“What time is not a real time?”

Technically, all of these are real times, but the riddle usually plays on how we perceive the 12-hour clock. Here is the breakdown of the options: • A. 11:59 p.m. – One minute before midnight. • B. 12:59 a.m. – 59 minutes after midnight (00:59 in 24-hour time). • C. 12:55 p.m. – 55 minutes after noon (12:55 in 24-hour time). • D. 11:55 a.m. – Five minutes before noon.

All are real times! The trick is realizing 12:59 a.m. exists—it's just 59 minutes past midnight. No skips in time. 😏 Gotcha!

All of them are real times. •11:59 pm ✔️ •12:59 am ✔️ (12:00–12:59 am is the hour just after midnight) •12:55 pm ✔️ (12:00–12:59 pm is noon hour) •11:55 am ✔️ So none of these is incorrect — they’re all valid times.

He asked the question wrong. All times are valid because of the am/pm distinction. If he said the times the military time way, then it would be B (0059).

There all correct ffs A. 11:59pm is 1 minute before midnight. B. 12:59am is 59 minutes after midnight, 1 minute to 1am C. 12:55pm is 5 minutes to 1pm D. 11:55am is 5 minutes before noon.

They're all valid times. People are dumb

12:59 a.m. that’s when time goes full cryptid

12:59… I think it’s technically 00:59

If we are saying 12:59 a.m should be 00:59 then 11:59 p.m is not a real time either as it would be 23:59….

They’re all real times.

12:59am is fake. Its 00:59.

All of them because AM AND PM are not correctly written. Capital letters and no periods

They’re all real when based on the 12 hour clock

12 am and 12 pm are not real times. They are what separates am and pm.

So dumb

Some say B, But there is a 12AM(Midnight) and a 12PM (Noon). So 12:59am is 59 mins after midnight or 12:59am

want to say B, but if your using AM and PM then your not going to use 24hour clock so all are OK.

On a 12 hour clock, all are correct. The question does not specify a 24 hour clock.

Why would a 12 hour system even allow for values beyond 12?

None are real - there is no such thing as 'a.m' or 'p.m'

None are true times

There's nothing like AM or PM until it past 12. 11:59 PM definitely

12.59 am as that would be 0.59

These are all real time, nothing wrong in these. Some idiot launched this and everyone kept believing which is not the correct one

Do people not look at a clock? They’re all correct times if you’re basing it off of a 12 hour clock

B

No such thing as 12:55 pm.

B

Every time is real, what does this post even mean to say?

Time is relative
