Answer 1

I've also read/heard of expressions like:

Faltan quince para las cuatro. Son las cuatro menos cuarto. (now, that's fun to say!)

And "menos cuarto" is almost an anagram of "son las cuatro"! - Toph, Aug 26, 2009

Answer 2

I've heard this expressed two ways:

• Son las tres con cuarenta y cinco
• Son las cuatro menos quince

Hmm... I've never seen it used with "con". Maybe it's a regional thing. - Nick-Cortina, Aug 26, 2009
