Time is an illusion (Posted on 2002-05-29) Difficulty: 4 of 5
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?

One is in Eastern Oregon (in Mountain time), the other in Western Florida (in Central time), and it's the Autumn daylight-savings changeover day at 1:30 AM (give or take 29 minutes).
