Brain Teasers
Time Zones
Assume you fly from NY to Paris, across all six time zones, in four hours. After landing you immediately take off again from Paris to return to NY (you forgot a toothbrush) back across all six time zones.
If on the return flight it only takes three hours (you had a good tail wind), would you land an hour BEFORE or an hour AFTER you originally took off?
If on the return flight it only takes three hours (you had a good tail wind), would you land an hour BEFORE or an hour AFTER you originally took off?
Answer
Neither, you'd land seven hours after you took off! Remember, it took seven hours to fly, the time zones don't matter.Hide Answer Show Answer
