Okay, so did I solo at 11.3 hours, or did I solo at 12.5 hours?

I don't understand why you need to ask. The phrase "I soloed at x hours"
is equivalent to "I had flown x hours before I flew solo". It's obvious
how many hours you had before you flew solo, and the number sure as heck
isn't 11.3.

Hmmm, so you're saying it's a number somewhere between 11.3 and 12.5? So why
is it that so many people are confidently able to state, "I soloed at
exactly such-and-such hours", when in fact their circumstances were likely
similar to mine?

I know, it's a minor semantic quibble, but I'm honestly interested in how
people interpret this.
