Lisa's laptop vanished from her New York office at noon Tuesday. Her coworker Jim says he was flying in from Los Angeles.
Jim says“My flight left LAX at 8 a.m., and we landed at JFK a little after 1 p.m. New York time. I took a cab straight to the office.”
What gave Jim away?
Hint: Convert both times to New York time.
Answer
That's only a two-hour flight from LA to New York.
8 a.m. in LA is 11 a.m. in New York, so landing at 1 p.m. means a two-hour flight. LA to New York takes about five hours.
