Not once have I multiplied the number the minute digit is pointing to by 5 when reading a clock.
There are four checkpoints for me : 15, 30, 45 and 60 (full hour) at the quarter points. I just add 5 minutes or subtract 5 minutes for every 5 minute step depending on what quarter point is closer.
I've seen other articles floating this idea but is this something that's confirmed? This article refers to the Wall Street Journal but is there a concrete source in which EU representatives are quoted or a written proposal that would suggest such a course of action for me to look up?
