Um... You are wrong, my friend.
In most digital clocks that show seconds, minutes and hours, the numbers are written like so: 14:44:03
Remove the hours, what do you get? 44:03. So its not false to say next tourney in 3:45, because its actually 00:03:45. The reason why we don't put the 0s is for the same reason we don't write a hundred 0000000000000000000100.000000 or 0000100.000000
