Fast clock, slow clock (Posted on 2007-04-11) Difficulty: 2 of 5
At a certain time of day, every day, my clock appears to be an hour fast. At another time of day, it appears to be an hour slow. It is neither fast nor slow. What's wrong with it?

You are in near-earth orbit and the clock is onboard your spacecraft.  You are passing into a new time zone every few minutes so it is an hour fast, two hours fast ..., two hours slow, one hour slow, correct once per orbit.
