I can't "explain" it, but I can tell you what I see. Once your answer gets to be larger than 10, you subtract 12. I don't know why, but that's what I see. Hope this helps, if not, someone correct me please!

Looks like congressional accounting formulas or maybe Florida is practicing counting ballots.

Galloway Girl has it right it is negative base 12 math not positive base ten. Just a guess anyway.

JLP, you are getting close . 1 more clue, the clue is in the title of the thread . A lot of good anwers so far .I think we're gonna have to count Vett's answer right even though it was not what I was looking for .

Counting time.

 

[larryshoat]

Counting time.

If you would Jogee go into a little more detail .

11 hours past 11.a.m is 2200 in military and nuke power plant time. 10 p.m.

 

[larryshoat]

The answer is : the math involved with a regular 12 hour clock . A lot of good posts on this . Each post built on the last unti Jogee and backhoe put the final pieces together .l Great job to all that posted :tiphat:

Larry I hate a 24 hour clock. My pager is kept on military time just for documentation referal. Everything else is normal

 

[fourstates]

11 oclock plus 11 hours = 10 oclock...
