    I have discalculia, I could not read an analog clock until I was maybe 16 and even then it took a lot of time for me to figure out anything past what hour it was, because of course I couldn’t learn the multiplication table to memory.

    So the minute hand is halfway between 6 and 7. Each number represents 5 minutes so just multiply that number by 5. Sorry I can’t do that without a calculator or a multiplication table right in front of my eyes.
