Riddles Round 3

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Jill's in Hawaii.
It's an actual state with a really funky time zone offset. Sun rises at like 2:30 am or something like that.

[Eric James Stone]

Hawaii's time is even farther offset from that of any Atlantic coast state than the states on the mainland, so it definitely won't work.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Both clocks are set for GMT or something.

[Eric James Stone]

Both clocks are correctly set for their local time zones as adjusted for Daylight Saving Time, if applicable.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Ok I found a map of time zones.  So she's in VERY eastern Oregon, and he's in VERY western florida, and it's 1:30am or whatever on the day daylight savings time changes over, so he's changed and she hasn't and it's the same time.  They must also  be either looking at their computer clocks or he really set his clock on time, which I never do.

[Eric James Stone]

That is correct.  Part of the Florida panhandle is in the Central Time Zone, and part of eastern Oregon is in the Mountain Time Zone, so they are normally only one hour apart.

However, during the fall switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard time, at 2am local time the Central Time Zone switches back to 1am.  Since the Mountain Time Zone still has not made the switch, it will also be 1am in that zone, which means the correct time will be identical in both places for one hour.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Someone else can start the next riddle, I don't know where to find any.

[Firemeboy]

I've got more of those calendar riddles, if there is no objection.

[Eric James Stone]

No objection here.

[Harbinger]

I don't get it. Are we suppposed to guess whether there are any objectons? 'Cause normally I would answer "no," but then some joker is going to object just to prove me wrong. Wait, I can be the joker! Yes, someone will object. I object! Do I win?

Edited fur spelling

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Nope.

The time on both their clocks is an actual time, like 7:32 PM (although it's not 7:32 PM; I'm just giving that as an example to show that the solution is not something like "Quitting time" or "Time to get a new clock battery.")

Both clocks are correct, and both show the same time.

Whatever...my answer was correct (AND highly plausible to actually happen) according to the riddle you gave. If you meant all this other stuff to be included in your riddle, you should have put it in the original post.

[Eric James Stone]

And I suppose you think Cliff Claven should have won on Jeopardy with the question "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?"

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I do --except that his question wasn't really consistent with the Jeopardy category.

I think they were details that should be included, simply because the word play trick question is very common in these games. However, further explanation of details is also a common point of them, so there's no point in getting bitter.

[Firemeboy]

I'm bitter.  But I'm bitter about the IRS, Apple Computer Corp, and the whole dark matter fiasco.  

Ok, puzzles to come in  a moment.
