Strange time designation

Are the times below really decimal hours (from Hostage_incident)? Or should it instead be 3:40 a.m., 6:40 a.m., 9:00 a.m., respectively?

3.40 a.m., 6.40 a.m., 9.00 a.m.

The very famous quote

Why isn't Yamani's very famous quote "The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones." listed in this article?
