    1030-955=75. So intuitively, it would be 75 minutes until the meeting. Oh wait… maybe it’s not intuitive?

    210 degree arc is always going to be 35 minutes. Whether it’s the 35 minutes from 9:55 to 10:30 or 9:50 to 10:25 or 3:15 to 3:50 or whatever. Sure you have to get used to the arcs. But once you do, it’s a quick glance at the minute hand and seeing how far away it is from the time of the meeting (or whatever the next thing is). Time for a computer is a number, time for a human is how long until a thing is going to happen.
