Sally's child, Catherine, had been learning about telling time in school. When Sally asked Catherine what time it was, Catherine said "Thirteen o'clock". Is Catherine correct? Why did she say this?
Hint
Catherine, being the unique child she is, wanted to learn a different way to tell time.Answer
Catherine is correct.Thirteen o'clock (13:00 or thirteen hundred hours) is 1:00 PM in military time.
Catherine wanted to be an individual and learned a different way to tell time, so she chose military time!

omg, i just realized this is ur first teaser! congrats!
... Try working and don't worry you will summit better teasers, and get more points. Also if there are bad comments don't listen to them....
Cuuuuuuuuuuute one, TinTin! It reminds me of a joke ... but this is not the place for that ...
that was easy but as you keep writing teasers you'll get bettere and better at it good job
just to tell you this ive never posted a teaser before so again good job
Thanks for the nice comments. I am truley sorry that some of you despised my teaser. I was really surprised that this got in. I think my next two (if they get in [cross your fingers]) will be better
there is always time to improve! That was a nice easy one , I mean it could for your self-esteem to get one right, right? Whatever, keep trying though
Good job on your first teaser. Don't worry about what people say too much. You'll really stump them all one day
Thanks!
I knew that!
I think it was easy and lame. sorry
this was kinda easy...a lot of ppl know about military time. maybe you should of wrote it different so ppl thought of something way off the right track, maybe next time
I just wanted to make an easy teaser, so it would be accepted. Now please, stop aying my teaser is aweful. Thank you.
I knew this one. I now dislike anyone called Catherine lol
Thank you xx
Thank you xx
I am pretty sure that most European countries use that sort of time too, tintin. Clever, nontheless.
I don't know if it would help but I thought it was a pretty good teaser. I know it was pretty easy but check out my teasers.
Any ways it really isn't that bad of a teaser. Anybody that says different try writing one yourself before you criticize someone.

It was a really good teaser! Lots of people don't know about military time. Kids who live or go to school on military bases hear this all the time and naturally want to copy it.
I think if someone in the military said "Thirteen o'clock" they'd either get beat up or have to do a lot of push ups.
