I have an assignment deadline for Monday, 10 January 2011, 12:00 PM (GMT), which I have yet to start.

Is that midnight tonight, or midnight tomorrow?

It's 12pm therefore it is in for midday. 12am would be midnight. Your poll is a bit of a fail :P

The actual assignment sheet says "midnight on the 10th January, 2011", but the actual place you submit the assignment says "Monday, 10 January 2011, 12:00 PM (GMT)". :confused:

you know that 12pm is midday right? if you meant 12am I'd say it's tonight because in 24 hour time it's 00.00 which is the first minute of the day.

12:00 PM is midday. :curious:

Midnight is the start of the day. 12:00 AM 10/01/11 is in three and a half hours time.

dear lawd...

If it's "midnight on the 10th" then that means in 3 and a half hours time.

If it's "12:00PM" then that's midday tomorrow, so in 15 and a half hours time.
