      Guessing each time if 12 needs to be added (with usually important consequences if you guess wrong) is.

          Yes. You need to guess if it’s AM or PM. That’s what the comment is about.

          If whoever says the time uses 24h or explicitly says AM/PM there’s no guessing involved.

              Until i saw people excluding the AM/PM. What does 6:30-2:30 mean? Are you working -4 hours? Are you working from 18:30 to 2:30 or from 6:30 to 14:30? Why do people choose this time format?

              No, this is what is confusing you. It’s like you never had any simple education, or you’re completely unaware of your surroundings.

              How is it possible to be so confused about clocks?
