That's what you implied by saying you count by fives. It makes it sound like you think a clock looks different just because we use the 24-hour format.
no... it doesn't
okay here someone on quora explained this for me
"in terms of the minutes… for a 12 hour clock, each number on the face is 5 minutes. It’s easy to add up, or multiply 5’s. Okay, the minute hand is close to the 3, 3x5=15. Almost anyone can do that math quickly.
But with the 24 hour clock, each number on the face is 2.5 minutes… now we’re dealing with fractions. What’s 2.5x6? The math is still doable, it’s simply more awkward."though I'm not saying it's
better because it still gives the same result so it doesn't really matter
