Am I slow or something or does that clock say 5:45...? It's kind of frustrating.

Precisely. :) You will understand its purpose in continuing to play... ;)

Oh? Well I'll just keep playing then to see where things go from here.

How was I supposed to figure out the cell time without using a hint or walkthrough however?

To me, the clock looks like it's showing 4:45. (The little hand is past the four but hasn't yet reached the five.)

Ah, I can see what you mean. It's just kind of small on my screen so it looked to me like the hour hand was pointing at the 5. Then again it would make sense that if it was 5:45 it would be past five instead of pointing at it anyway. Curses to all digital clocks which have rendered me inept at even the simple task of reading an analog display.

The right time is 4:45 as Lamkin said. If you're looking carefuly you'll see that the line is between 5 and 4. It is true that at first view it's lookling like 5:45 but you'll soon realize that is 4 ;)
