I have seen 19:00 and "when it gets dark" elsewhere, is 17:00 a universal rule or is there variation - Stadt, Oct 6, 2010
The 24-hour clock (a.k.a., "Military time", is very common outside the U.S. - KevinB, Oct 6, 2010
17:00 is 5:00PM. As for the beginning of noche, I've seen when it gets dark and specific times from 19:00 to 21:00. - lorenzo9, Oct 6, 2010
