    I know this sounds ridiculous but I need help on my homework. I need information about the International Dateline and a question.

    How come when Miss T left Figi at 7:30AM in monday she arrived at hawaii at 5:30 AM on Monday Again? So there. reply ASAP
     
    The International date line is an imaginary line that goes from the north pole through the atlantic into the south pole. If you cross it going west monday, it becomes Tuesday. Alternately, if you cross it going east monday, it becomes Sunday. The reason "Miss T" can leave Fiji (WEST of the IDL) on one day and land in Hawaii (EAST of the IDL) earlier that same day is because the second she crossed the IDL, she went back 1 day.

    Hope that helps, I am a genius.

    that is exactly true...except that the International Date line is in the Pacific not Atlantic ocean...that's kinda important...
     
    True...and jet lag would make the hours go either ahead or behind...(I'm not sure in this case, I'm lazy :))

    I think Cool Lance summed it up good
     
    Okay see that was just plain spam...

    Ya but the dateline thing is what you have to think about becuse it can tapper off into diffrent variations of itself...
     
    Its no spam,its the answer.Ive heard this somewhere else.Why is it spam?
     
    She rides on a horse named Monday

    That was irrelevent to the topic question and you knew it.
     
    It wasn't a riddle. He cleary stated that it was a question about the International Dateline and it was HOMEWORK. Why would a teacher give out homework on riddles???
     
    By pure coincidence, there is a riddle just like this. So don't blame the poor guy who mistaken this to be a riddle ^_^; I've heard of the monday riddle too. However, what sets the riddle apart from this is the location. Figi is in Malaysia, while Hawaii... we all know where. So you can "go back in time" using the international dateline in the pacific.
     
    I heard that riddle before too! It's not spammy... Heh, I can't help you with it either... my math is so ^^P... Thumbs down.
     
    ya....but this problem has little to do with math....that's like saying breathing has little to do with air...

    Oops. Well, tmbjr is right there... :embarrass :embarrass . Um...Fiji is over an ocean from Hawaii. Jari89 obviously was thinking too laterally.
