This is/was supposedly a question on the Wonderlic test. I'm wondering what answer Wonderlic wants. I can see it both ways. 11 pm is after midnight of the same day, but it's closer to being before midnight (of the following day) than after.

ok... Yes you're right.... 11pm is after midnight of the same and yes 11pm is before midnight of the following day.
However if we are speaking in Military time 11pm is 2300 and midnight is 2400. So I would say that 11pm (2300) is before midnight (2400).
At 2400 is the end of the 24 hr day.
eg: 12:15am would be 0025
12:30am would be 0050
12:45am would be 0075
1:00am would be 0100

No. 11:00 pm is one hour before midnight. If after waking up at 11:30 pm you are eating breakfast at 1:00 AM Now, research Military Time.

11 pm is before midnight of the same day. The day is generally considered to change at midnight, and since 11 pm is one hour before 12 am (or midnight...it goes 11:59 pm straight to 12:00 am).
11:59 am is one minute before 12:00 pm, also known as noon.

I would just say both. The question never asks, "Is 11 p.m. before or after midnight ON THE SAME DAY?" so it might as well be 11 p.m. Tuesday and midnight of Friday. Or perhaps a better answer would be..."YES."

In the same day, 11pm is after midnight. Midnight is actually the very start of a day (hence shift from pm to am).

Technically midnight is the start of a new day so 11pm would be after midnight.

technically after cos it is on the same day as the previous night. but generally because its so close to the midnight one hour away people will say before.

You have made a really intelligent point! Maybe you should make up a test too.
