If the Earth ran on a one-hour Day/Night cycle, how would traditional 12hr clocks read those times?

Question

Assuming X:00 was midnight, what would clocks read if the time of day appeared as 3:00 PM on a 24hr cycle? Also, what time of day would it appear to be if it was X:20 on a 1hr cycle?

Please include a formula for future reference.

Answer 1

To arrive at a formula AM and PM must be eliminated. Only a 24 hour clock works.

 

1 hour on X clock equals 24 hours.

60 minutes on X clock equals 24 hours.

10 minutes on X clock equals 4 hours

2.5 minutes on X clock equals 1 hour

 

3 PM is 15 hours after midnight on a 24 hour clock.

15(2.5) = 37.5

X:37.5 is the same as 3 PM.

 

For X:20

20/2.5 = 8

X:20 = 08:00, or 8 AM
