Two 2 hours ago it was as long after one o'clock in the afternoon as it was before one o'clock in the morning.

What time would it be now?

9pm

Correct!

Nine o'clock.

Since there are 12 hours between the 2 times and half of that time is six, then the halfway mark would have to be 7 o'clock.

If it were 7 o'clock, two hours ago, the time would now be nine o'clock.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's!

Sun of a gun.. There were no replies when I posted my answer. But I open all the post I have not read from the day before into like 40 different tabs. Looks like it took me at least 8 mins to get to this thread from when I opened it and there were no replies. I thought for sure I had won one of these finally Grrrrrrr

Yea, you were close but like my pappy use to say - son, close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades.
