In Europe they say "point five past noon" and "point two five to midnight"

Norwegian here. I don't recognize this. Where in europe do they say it like that? We mostly use the 12 hour system to talk about time of day, but write in 24 hours. We don't say am or pm though.

Is this a joke no one is getting or something?

I guess you're making a joke about .5 being half and .25 being quarter. We say half past 11 in the US too. The real problem is languages that use "half 11" and it means 11:30 or 10:30 depending on where you are.
