If you don't mind saying, where in the show are you currently? Because depending on that, "MC last Minute heel turn" can mean drastically different things

Nah. She is a night-owl and always stays up for hours later than myself. Which makes it really hard to get up from the couch and go to bed for me in turn.

Go to bed on time finally

FWIW, I went to school in mid-2000. My sibling even later. They still taught it back then, and at least here, I am pretty sure they still do. (And why would they not, after all...)

Literally noone I know in real life has any problem whatsoever reading analog clocks, no matter the "brain capacity", neuro-typicality, state of drunkenness,... It is an extremely simple "skill".

Yeah, vibe of the time is a good description

Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it's 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it's going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / ... ). Not saying you can't get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.

I feel like I'm going insane reading these comments about how difficult it is to read analog clocks, how it needs too much understanding of maths, how it takes too long,...

Can someone please confirm: you just look, for a fraction of a second, at the clock face and know the time, right?

Learning to read the clock was like... A couple of lessons and some homework in the 2nd grade, and everyone got it.

Alright, thanks for the recommendation (seriously)!
