It was 17:52 in the evening and I couldn’t wait for my class to finish. Only 8 more minutes… I really hate night school!
I sat there pondering the stuff on the blackboard and wondering why he wrote it only 8 minutes before class let out. It reads:
Class, I have a quest ion: What time zone are we in?
Of course I know what time zone I’m in, so why would he be asking this.
Wondering if it was a trick question, I pondered over it.
Earlier in the class I couldn’t help but notice the professor had scribbled a note on the window:
My cat needs food.
Curious, I wondered why he would put that for everyone to see.
While attempting to figure it all out, I get a text from a distant friend.
Them: hey
Me: hey! hows Vik?
Them: <3 love
Them: you eat dinner yet?
Me: no, in class
Me: you have breakfast yet?
Them: yeah, ate at 8 (lol), 7 min ago
Me: lucky, i'm starving
The professor looks around and taps on the blackboard to ensure everyone was working.
I then realize he is just as bored as we are and it’s not a trick question. He just wanted to keep us busy for the last few minutes… so I write down my current time zone and hand it in.
Info:
All times are standard, no daylight savings.
If you answer with the other one, it might just be correct.
Edit
After further research, I realize that the friend location is in one of those shared time zones despite the fact that it sits in another time zone. So, it might be a bit deceiving when looking at time zones.
