The hours hand is pointed directly at the number 6, which means it's exactly 6 o'clock. If the hours hand is pointed exactly at 6, that means that the minutes hand must be pointed directly at 12. The minutes hand is 2 ticks beyond the 9. So how do we figure out how many minutes there are in this hour? First, we multiply 9 by 5 to get 45. Then we add another 2 ticks to 45, giving us 47. We have 47 minutes in the hour. The hours hand is in between 11 and 12, while the minutes hand is 4 ticks beyond the 3. How do we figure out the time? First, let's tell the hour of the day. Because the hours hand is between 11 and 12, we pick the lower number. This means it's 11-something o'clock. Let's do the minutes next. We need to multiply 3 by 5. This gives us 15. Now we need to add the 4 ticks to 15 which gives us 19. There are 19 minutes in the hour, and the hour is 11. That means the time is 11:19.

Summary: Notice where the hours hand is on this example. Notice where the minutes hand is on this example. Notice where the hours and minutes hands are on this example.

Do a simple movement, like tapping your feet and stretching. If it becomes a habit, it might just save you from falling asleep during those final dire moments and it can keep you awake without being distracting. Try keeping music on in the background. If it has a good beat, you may find yourself naturally tapping your foot to the tempo. Avoid a decreasing sense of energy and motivation by setting a constant pace for yourself: For example, try 40 to 55 minutes of work, and taking a 5 to 20 minute break, or perhaps a quick walk around outside in a safe and well lit area. Looking repeatedly at a clock may distract you from your work. Taking breaks is especially important if you are working on the computer; it will help prevent headaches and eye strain. Take a short break to watch a part of a scary movie if you think it will help your productivity. Scary movies can keep one alert, but don't watch if it becomes a distraction; it's enough to watch a little during a 5- to 20-minute break. Choose a movie with a subject that actually frightens you. It would be pointless to watch a movie about giant spiders if you like spiders. If you can't find a scary movie, consider watching a real-life documentary on a terrifying subject instead. Coffee or tea may seem like an ideal solution at the time, but you may get a temporary buzz then crash badly the following day (perhaps halfway through your test or meeting). Try staying hydrated with water instead. Drink 2 glasses of ice-cold water every 30 minutes. Not only will the cold water help to keep you awake, but you'll need to urinate often, which will keep you alert. Non-caffeinated herbal tea will also naturally keep you awake due to tea's extensive amount of herbs. Keep in mind that some herbal teas, like chamomile, will put you to sleep. Avoid teas labeled as "bedtime" or "calming." Foods like sandwiches, cheese, and other dairy products can allow you to feel more alert. Sugary foods may make you feel awake for a little while, but will eventually make you crash and feel drowsy. Apples keep your blood sugar stable so you're able to stay awake longer. Any fruit or healthy food is better than eating sugary foods. Avoid eating a heavy meal the evening of the all-nighter. This will leave you feeling lethargic and sleepy. Eat a light, healthy meal, such as a stir-fry. Avoid alcohol, as this depressant will make you sleepy. You may not enjoy it, but harsh and arrhythmic music will keep your mind alert. Try to stick to instrumental music, which is less distracting. This will keep you from being lulled to sleep. If others are sleeping around you, clearly you'll need to keep the level of the music low. Use earphones if necessary. There are acupressure points on your ears, and when stimulated, send electrical signals into your brain. After doing this, you'll feel buzzed and more awake. For example: Placing pressure on the tip of your ear can relieve pressure in your back and shoulders. Pinching the upper-middle part of the ear can help to relieve pain in your joints.

Summary: Keep moving. Take breaks. Watch a horror film. Avoid caffeine, if possible. Eat protein-rich foods to stay energized. Play hardcore metal music. Squeeze and massage your ears.

If you have or are planning to add a backsplash, account for its dimensions in your final measurement. Measure the length of the backsplash for each section of countertop. Add the lengths together. Multiply the total length of the backsplash by 4 inches (the height of the backsplash). Divide the product by 140 to calculate the total square footage of your backsplash. Add this number to the total square footage of your countertops. Often countertops run along two perpendicular walls, forming an L-shape. When measuring this layout, you must first verify that your corner is a 90 angle. Measure and mark 3 feet from the corner along one wall. Measure and mark 4 feet from the corner along the other wall. Measure the diagonal distance between the two points. If the distance is 5 feet, then your corner is square. Divide the counter into two sections. To determine the length of section A, measure from one end of the counter to the wall. To determine the width of section A, measure from the front edge of the counter to the wall. To determine the length of section B, measure from the opposite end of the counter to the wall. Subtract the width of section A to get the length of section B. To determine the width of section B, measure from the front edge of the counter to the wall. Calculate the area (or square inches) of each section by multiplying the length times the width of each section (Length x Width = Area). Calculate the total square inches by adding together the areas of each section. Calculate the square footage by dividing the total square inches by 144 (Total Square Inches ➗ 144 = Total Square Footage). If your countertops are irregularly shaped, divide the countertop into square sections. These sections may overlap and or include negative or blank space. Once you have sectioned off the countertop into squares, measure the length and width of each section. For each section, multiply the length by the width. Calculate the area (or square inches) of each section by multiplying the length times the width of each section (Length x Width = Area). Calculate the total square inches by adding together the areas of each section. Calculate the square footage by dividing the total square inches by 144 (Total Square Inches ➗ 144 = Total Square Footage).

Summary: Measure the length of the backsplash and calculate the square footage. Measure an L-shaped counter. Measure irregular countertops.
