Question

1914

Typed answer, rounded to a whole number.

Answer

1914

Rationale

For an afternoon or evening time, adjust the hour for the 24-hour clock while keeping the minutes unchanged. This notation distinguishes the time from its morning counterpart.

Worked solution: For p.m. times after noon add 12 to the hour: 7:14 p.m. = 1914.

RememberUse the 24-hour clock to distinguish morning from afternoon and evening.
