If two hours ago it was as long after one o’clock in the afternoon as it was before one o’clock in the morning, what time is it right now?
Answer
The time is 9pm (or 21:00 hours) right now.
There are 12 hours between the 2 times (1pm and 1am), and half of that time is 6 hours. So, the halfway mark would have to be 7pm (1pm + 6 hours). If it was 7pm two hours ago, the time would be 9pm now.
