We naturally round time to nice, even breakpoints, often in the direction that we like best instead of what's actually closest (i.e. saying it's 10 minutes to lunch when it's actually 14, or that you have 15 minutes before you have to leave when it's actually 11).

Toss in potential discrepancies between different timepieces, and you've got a recipe for misremembering the initial time. --- This is my signature.
