    How hard can it actually even be? Nobody taught me how to read an analog clock, I just figured it out myself at age 9 by staring at my parents’ analog clock for exactly 5 minutes, while carefully watching the hands move and counting.

    When I realized that the second hand ticked 60 times per revolution, and after it had went around 5 times, and the longer of the two slow hands had advanced from the 12 to the 1, then I simply thought to myself “Well I get it now, that’s not so hard!”

    And yes I correctly extrapolated the correlation between the minute hand and the hour hand too.
