I glanced over the clock. It said "Current Time 13:33." I sighed and went back to what I was doing. | ||

Was it, in fact, 1:33 in the afternoon (or 13:33 in 24-hour time)? Did you expect it to be? Or is that time remaining until something (whether it is 13 hours 33 minutes or 13 minutes 33 seconds, either way)? | ||

Was the clock on your computer? Relevant what you were doing? Were you doing lateral puzzles? Relevant what the actual time was? | ||

Was the time in hours and minutes? Minutes and seconds? Was it counting down? Counting up? Measuring how long something was going on? Hold-the-Button or some similar site relevant? | ||

Was your time of 13:33 not enough to beat the record? Hence the sigh? Then you went back to try again? | ||

I'd assume a duration of either 13 minutes, 33 seconds, or 13.33 seconds. | ||

I'd assume a duration of either 13 minutes, 33 seconds, or 13.33 seconds. this last one is correct—so here's the **********SPOILER********** I was playing the game VVVVVV (http://thelettervsixtim.es), in which one of the mini-games involves dodging objects and surviving for as long as possible contiguously. My personal record was 16.90 at this point, and a 13.33 wasn't good enough, so I sighed and tried again. Why the timer uses a colon, I have no idea. That was quicker than I thought … |
