Temporal Specificity

I've been neglecting this. I blame March Break...

I frequently overhear conversations between students in the hall. I forgot most of them as I hear so many. This one stuck in my head.

Student 1: "What time are hockey tryouts?"
Student 2: "4 to 5"

Student 1: "What a stupid time. Why wouldn't it be 5 to 4?"
Student 2: "...what? that doesn't make sense."

Student 1: "Yeah. Four minutes to 5 is so specific."
Student 2: "Buddy. You're messed."
