| 24-hour clock | 15:30 |
| Military time | 1530, said as a number of hundreds |
| ISO 8601 | T15:30:00 |
| In words | Half past three in the afternoon |

Why a clock time countdown is different
Counting down to a date is a daily matter. Counting down to 3:30 PM is a matter of seconds, since it comes back every day.
Crossing midnight or noon is where mental sums go wrong, and 3:30 PM is often close to one of them. The page counts in seconds from your clock, so the answer is right at any hour.
Before 3:30 PM the count runs to today. After it, the count runs to tomorrow, and the line under the number says which.
The seconds tile moves every second, which makes it a good check that the page is live. The minutes tile moves once a minute. Together they show the wait to 3:30 PM at two scales.
The progress bar tracks the stretch from one 3:30 PM to the next. It grows as the day goes on and is full at the end.
Just after 3:30 PM the count shows the longest wait, close to 24 hours. By evening or morning it has dropped a lot. In the last hour you can watch the minutes disappear.
