A problem that is on my mind at the moment however may not be political enough to be appropriate for that forum, but I would like to bring it to your attention in the hopes of confirming my thoughts. Briefly, a good friend is departing New York City at 6:00 PM local time on New Years Eve and crossing 6 time zones en route to Zurich on a flight lasting 7 hours and 45 minutes, thus arriving in Zurich at 7:45 AM local time on the morning of January 1st. She has asked me what time it will be *exactly* midnight on her flight so she can celebrate. If you have any idea on the best forum in which such a thought problem will be well recieved, or if you think it would be *interesting* to post on IP, I would be greatly appreciative if you would please let me know. Thanks again for your great e-list and your kind attention, Forest Mars New York City ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
