While the answer may seem obvious on the surface, many adults have been debating this children's maths question
While the question seems easy on the surface, some have claimed it left them confused as they couldn't figure out what the puzzle was actually asking them to do. This has led to a wide range of different answers.
While the anser may initially seem obvoius, many were left confused as they vouldn't figure out if the question was asking them to find the time that was closest to midnight without having past midnight. While another added: "It says closest TO midnight ... not after midnight. A." And a third posted: "Would have to be A, time cannot go in reverse so the fact that B and D are after midnight, they couldn't be the answer."
One commenter said: "Y'all are getting me f***ing mad now. If you call an airline and ask for the closest flight to midnight possible and they put you on an 11:55 am flight instead of a few minutes past midnight, you would be frigging furious. Maths is supposed to be practical."
