Two people are talking long distance on the phone. One is in an East-Coast state of the US, the other is in a West-Coast state of the US. The first asks the other

"What time is it over there?"

Upon hearing the answer, the person says,

"That's funny. It's the same time here!".

How can this be?

Let us denote the two persons as A and B.

A is in Eastern Oregon ( Mountain time) at while B is in Western Florida (Central time) . This happenced during  a Autumn daylight-savings changeover day at 1:30 am.
