That timezone question was dirty! I just assumed that “technically” referred to how Antarctica doesn’t have time zones. Actually… that question just seem unfair. 🤔
I think I'd have struggled if Antarctica wasn't an option there, but the second I saw it was there I knew it had to be the answer, because it's the only one that touches every single line of longitude (or is it latitude? I always get the two mixed up lol)
I agree, tricky question and I quickly hit Asia...but I should have thought it through since I sail. Frank is right - latitudes run east-west and measure north-south of the equator. Longitude run north-south and measure east-west, hence they all run through Antarctica. Good book called 'Longitude' tells the story of John Harrison who invented the ship's clock that could measure longitude from Greenwich mean time.
Yes, but there are no official time zones in Antarctica because no one lives there permanently. Research stations use unofficial time zones that make sense to them, but that’s about it. And it’s not like two Argentine based 10km apart are actually using different times. Upon research, I see 10 time zones used by these stations.
8/10. I knew it wasn't Pythagoras and that's about all I ccould do with that one, and I went back and forth between kiwifruit and starfruit, and no surprise, wrong way.
8/10 for me today, I didn't know the Will Smith one, went for Bad Boys because I remember the song from the movie 😂 And then I just plain messed up the Chinese gooseberry one, should've known that but I always forget kiwifruit aren't actually from NZ 😅
Yep, me too - as a Kiwi, I knew the Chinese Gooseberry one - my grandmother used to call them that when I was young. I got 6/10. I missed the mathematician question, where Tony Soprano lives, the continent and the female heir to the British throne (should have thought more about that one.)
In fact, I'll change it now.
