The trick is to realize times are stored internally in a special format,  
though they can be displayed in several ways based on the internal 
representation.  The trick in doing comparison with times is to make certain 
what you are comparing with has also been put into the same internal time 
format.  This should make clear the basis for the logical tests:

> as.numeric(test)
[1] 34200 36000 37800 39600

> as.numeric(hm("10:00"))
[1] 36000
