Hints for this Quiz

Think “half to”, not “half past”.
In German, “halb drei” means half to three (30 minutes before three) → 02:30.
Convert 14:30 to the 12-hour clock first.
14:30 = 2:30 pm. Colloquial German says “halb drei”.
“vor neun” = before nine.
“Viertel vor neun” is 15 minutes before 9 → 08:45.
12:15 is after 12:00.
“Viertel nach zwölf” = 12:15. After 12:00 the office is closed.
Compare 13:45 with 14:00.
“Viertel vor zwei” = 13:45. The consultation hour starts at 14:00 → not open yet.
Afternoon = add 12 hours.
“Halb drei” am Nachmittag = 14:30.
“nach” = past the hour.
“Viertel nach zehn” means 10:15.
15 minutes before nine.
With a 15-minute buffer, arrive at 08:45 → “Viertel vor neun”.
