A: The hour hand looks like its at the 5 but its at the 4 and the times go by 5 so the minute hand was on 3 which represents 15 so it was 4:15 and because 4 was close to 4:30
B: The hour hand was in the middle of 6 and 7 and its obviously 6 because if it were 7 it would be after and the 42 you get from the 8 representing 40 and it is 2 tics after making it 6:42
