Clock description: Hour hand between 8 and 9. The minute hand is replaced by a shaded yellow region spanning from near the 5 to near the 7, indicating that the minute hand is somewhere within that region.

One morning when you leave your house, you witness an automobile accident in your street. You look at your watch when it happens. Later that day you are invited to a party at a neighbor's house, where people are talking about the accident. Your neighbor is eager to find out what you saw of the event. She asks you: "What time did the accident happen?" You remember that it happened in the time range shown on the clock as given above.

How would you answer in this situation? (Fill the blank)

"It happened ___."

Actual time shown: 8:26-8:34
Answer: "It happened 8.30."

Why did you choose to answer this way?
Easiest half way house. If you remember the time frame but not the time, then an average is good, especially for a small window of 8 minutes. If it was 15 mins or longer I would've said the range rather than a specific time value.
