Ok now I am confused again. :? Why is 10 metric hours only half a day?
Got to maintain the concept of am and pm.
I have had great fun with my American colleagues and metric time. Just need to show them my World Time or Dual Time watch (quickly enough that all they see is two different times - analogue and digital is enough) and blurt out the "rules" very quickly and authoritively, and they are not sure if its true or not.
Once when an ex-Navy F14 pilot was telling me how much we always wanted to go to "your country", and how he just missed out on a trip while based at Guam because he hadn't been trained yet on a particular weapons system, I explained that he was probably lucky not to be assigned to Australia as most Americans find our metric time system very confusing.
He spend several hours "researching" about metric time on the internet before tracking me down in the office corridor and abusing me for having a lend of him. It was easier than completing the AA Platinum Challenge :wink: .
