» C as ct-st
You're right on time, yet there is none beside thee? This may be because the clocks go in many different universities and from 10.00 clock fast times is 10.15 clock. The confusion about ct ("cum tempore" means the event will start 15 minutes later than stated) and st ("sine tempore" means that the event will begin as specified) can despair especially students in Germany. While elsewhere the times have become common in Germany decides each university, and often each institution itself and can sometimes even off the Latin abbreviation.
