Counting Down: What Time Will it be in 90 Minutes?

Have you ever found yourself staring at your clock, trying to calculate what time it will be in a certain amount of time? Maybe you’re trying to figure out if there’s enough time left before your favorite show starts or if you’ll make it to your meeting on time. Well, fear not my friends because today we’re going to tackle the question that’s been plaguing us all – what time will it be in 90 minutes?

It All Begins with Basic Math

Before we start breaking down the nitty-gritty details of our countdown quest, let’s talk about some basic math concepts just so we’re all on the same page.

Firstly, seconds; you know those small units of measurement that add up and quickly count-down as they march towards zero. Secondly, minutes which is equivalent to sixty-seconds; this is a concept I can bet you already know without any cogent explanation. Thirdly hours whereby an hour consists of sixty-minutes then finally days; twenty-four hours plus constitutes one day (duh! probably used too much).

Okay folks, let’s get started! If we want to find out what time it will be in ninety minutes from now (drumroll please) …we simply have to do some quick addition.

You heard me – ADDITION!

We take whatever the current hour is and then add 1 hour thirty-minutes (plus eighty-nine seconds)!

This should give us our answer but wait…hold up – things are about go a little bit haywire!

If by any chance three distinct clocks show precise and accurate times concurrently yet exhibit differences with respect to their designated hours due maybe due erroneous settings or faulty gears / complex mechanical issues here’s how this problem can manifest itself:

Scenario A:
Clock #1 shows (hypothetically speaking) 1:53

Clock #2 shows (hypothetically speaking again) 3:02

Clock #3 shows (you guessed it!) exactly the third hour itself which is represented in digits as “3”

Doing basic maths, if we add one hour and thirty minutes (plus eighty nine seconds) at a given time like clock #2 offering an answer of 4.32 p.m., then clock #1 would have shown your current time to be shortly past three because technically you traveled two time zones ahead but obviously that’s almost everyone’s cup of tea these days; who needs multiple watches anyway?.

Hang On A Second…

Hold up! If you thought it was just that easy…then I am afraid RECALCULATIONS ARE NECESSARY!

There are some other factors you need to keep in mind when calculating what time will it be in ninety minutes. Hey, I warned you this wouldn’t be straightforward!

Here are some exceptions:

1. We Need to Consider AM or PM

One thing to consider is whether it’s currently AM or PM.
Which is why right from the start during the scenario above – even if simply based on speculation – there was no mention of whether those clocks read a.m. or p.m.

  • Clocks ticking eleven-thirty.pm

If we’re starting with eleven-thirty P.M., and we want to know what it will be ninety minutes afterward….we first go forward one hour into morning territory giving us twelve-thirty A.M for starters before proceeding further down this peculiar timeline.

Then adding even more seventy-minutes gives us ‘one-forty’, ensuring our final destination is firmly planted within meridiem domain, either remaining marked by “a.m.” since such proceedings took place deep in nighttime hours or downright straight-up reading ‘two-twenty-five’ man! Depending on how deeply buried within the night we chose to embark on this escapade, physical characteristic variation like split ends around uncombed hair could also come into the picture.

2. Travelling Across Time Zones

Continuing down that same path of thought as above, you may need to consider time zones too! If you’re travelling across different geographic borders, then it’s always best practice to keep in mind the existing obfuscating variables which might impact eventual outcome. Therefore suppose we perform our calculation at exactly twelve noon on popularly designated meridian line?
This would result in an answer being provided for – alternatively reflecting both before and after lunch plans – as a “quarter-after one” personal assistants groans or even “two-forty-five pm”.

The Bottom Line

Well folks, there’s your answer – what time will it be in ninety minutes? But remember… add one hour thirty-minutes (and eighty-nine seconds), while keeping factors such AM/PM moments and intercontinental travels (like volunteering missions or soul searching) firmly implanted within mental musings.

So next time you find yourself desperately trying to calculate what time it will be in a certain amount of time…take a deep breath and remember all those math lessons from grade school! Now if only some part of maths can eradicate musical ear-worms everyday like Payback by Flame…sheesh!

Just kidding fellow victim(s)!
