2400

Common industrial power

2400 refers to midnight in 24-hour time notation, the final minute of a calendar day.

Military and aviation contexts favor this format to avoid AM/PM confusion: The operation begins at 2400.

In competitive contexts, 2400 often denotes a perfect or maximum score, particularly on standardized tests like the former SAT: She got a 2400 on her SATs.
