Mia's flight left Tokyo at 9 p.m. on a Monday and landed in Honolulu about seven hours later, at 9 a.m. on that same Monday. The flight was on time and every clock was right. How?
Hint: Look at a map of the Pacific.
Answer
She crossed the International Date Line, which put her back into Monday.
Flying east across the date line turns the calendar back a day, so a seven-hour flight can land twelve hours 'before' it took off.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
