The mistakes behind most wrong answers

The answer is 12:44. A child who answers 12:40 probably counted round to the nearest five and stopped.
Which clock shows 3:07?
The answer is 3:07. A child who answers 3:01 probably read the clock hands the wrong way round.
Which clock shows 4:58?
The answer is 4:58. A child who answers 5:58 probably took the next hour at half past.
Which clock shows 12:16?
The answer is 12:16. A child who answers 12:17 probably counted one too many or too few.
