The origin of the digital display should be assumed to be in the exact center of the image displayed. Also, it is a digital 12-hour clock where 2:59 is displayed as "2:59" and not "02:59," for example

If anyone knows how to change the Table Cell font to more accurately reflect what a digital clock looks like, that would be awesome.

Why do we need to answer in order?? If we guess something, we have to be on that exact spot to get it. And you should tell us that you're considering a clock that shows, for instance, 2:13 as opposed to 02:13, that's on 12-hour format and that displays midnight as 12 (which I've never actually seen...).

Well, I don't want people to be able to type "1111" and get all three answers. I want them to think about if it matches the symmetry for each case.
To your second point, yes I will mention that it is a digital 12-hour clock where 2:59 is displayed as "2:59" and not "02:59" for example.

But the problem is as you indicate, there are over 30 180-degree rotations alone. How do we know what goes first? Or seventh? Or 19th? Yes, people may get 3 freebies with 11:11. So what?

Fair enough, but the answers are in the order in which they would occur during the day. So it becomes sort of a logic puzzle. You not only have to come up with which ones have symmetry, but if it is the
next
one that has symmetry. Perhaps it needs more time?

I get it now, you put them in in chronological order. If you do decide to leave it in order, at least give us 2 or 3 extra minutes, please.

Yup I defintely need the extra minutes, but I approve of having to answer in order. I couldn't figure out what you were looking for with X-Axis symmetry, but it's pretty obvious now that I see the answers. Clever quiz.

This is probably one of the most commented and yet least played quizzes of all time.

I played it again and I think you should give us 8 or 9 minutes for this. Keep in mind that some people (me included) are on laptops and therefore don't have numpads, so it's harder to enter numbers in a mechanical way. I almost finished, didn't have time for the last two, but I had already played through the first two columns when the timer was 4 minutes so I already knew the basic thinking method for the first two categories.
