Military time numbers the 24 hours of the day from 1 to 24, rather than repeating the cycle of 12 hours twice. In several countries, time is kept on this 24-hour cycle. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Note that the military clock begins with 0000 hours, sometimes called 2400 hours. When spoken aloud, this is said, "twenty-four hundred hours," which is the equivalent of midnight.  \n  \n2.   Name morning hours as follows: 1 a.m. is 0100 hours, called "oh one hundred hours"; 2 a.m. is 0200, "oh two hundred hours"; and so forth. This pattern continues for the morning hours just as with the standard method of telling time until noon, which is 1200 hours ("twelve hundred hours").  \n  \n3.   Remember that military time continues to ascend for the afternoon hours rather than beginning a new 12-hour cycle. Thus, 1 p.m. is now 1300 hours, or "thirteen hundred hours"; 2 p.m. is 1400 hours; and so forth. This pattern continues until midnight, at which point the military clock begins again.  \n  \n4.   Determine afternoon hours in military time simply by subtracting 1200 from them. For example, 1800 hours is 6 p.m. in standard time: 1800-1200=600; 2200 hours is 10 p.m.: 2200-1200=1000.  \n  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Many train, bus and flight schedules abroad use military time.

The title refers to the time of day. It is either 3:35AM (25 to 4) or 3:34AM (26 to 4). We know it is early morning because of the line "Waiting for the break of day."

As has been noted, "o'clock" is short for "of the clock" meaning "according to the clock".  The fuller form of the expression is found as early as the late 14th century (in Chaucer).\nhttp://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970102\n\nBut we can perhaps go a bit further, to the origins of the mechanical clock itself and the very word "clock".  "Clock" comes from Latin 'cloca' meaning "BELL".  It was the term applied to the newer devices in use for measuring time in the thirteenth century.   As the word itself suggests, the key feature of these clocks is the bell that chimed the hours  In fact, these clocks, often set out in public in a tower to make it possible to notify everyone, did not necessarily have hands.       The key thing, then, was notifying people of the HOUR of the day (not the minute, and not, at least at first, the quarter or half hour either).  This practice of marking/announcing the hours is echoed by the watchman's call "nine o'clock and all is well."     Thus it is scarcely surprising that this way of expressing the time did not (and still does not, except in certain highly formal uses) state anything BUT the HOUR.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock#A_new_mechanism\n\nSo you may picture the situation around 1300 -- the bell in the 'clock tower' strikes ONE time announcing that the hour is "one of ['according to'] the clock".

Its probably a GMT standard clock. Whereever you live is GMT + or - a certain amount of hours.\n\nEST is GMT -5 so if GMT says its 12:00, its actually 7:00 here.

:) Actually, you are exactly right, it should pronounced:\nsix p two one dot three.\np or q indicates the arm, the next number the band, the next the subband, etc. The numbers are not decimal!!! p21 doesn't mean there is p17 or p18, that depends on the given chromosome.\nTo be honest, in everyday usage, we commonly would say six p twentyone dot three... :)
