Hi,

When configuring a key chain, I had the following surprise :

...
...11:57 AM = 3 minutes before noon
...11:58 AM = 2 minutes before noon
...11:59 AM = 1 minute before noon
...12:00 AM = midnight

just wondering if any native english speaker could explain the logic
behind this sudden bump in time ?

it would be too bad to loose 2 or 3 points because you thought 12:00 AM
was noon, or 12:00PM was midnight.

thanks
Navid
