Arithmetic error.

Night = later pm.
- #7Misconception
Read the number on the clock (3) as the number of minutes directly. Each number stands for 5 minutes, so 3 means 3 × 5 = 15 minutes.
- #8Calc error
Counted only 2 jumps of 5 (10) instead of 3. The minute hand at 3 means 3 × 5 = 15.
- #9Calc error
Counted to the wrong number — 20 minutes would be at the '4' on the clock, not the '3'. 3 × 5 = 15.
- #10Partial logic
Counted from 2:45 to 4:00 only (1 hour 15 minutes) and forgot to add the remaining 10 minutes from 4:00 to 4:10.
