Google a day

Question

Explorers from Kushiro, Pevek, Namsos arrive at the north pole and check their watches if they arrived at 11:42 a.m., 12:17 p.m. and 3 a.m., respectively, which team was first?

The time zones

Kushiro time zone=3:02 PM
Pevek time zone= 8:02 AM
Namsos time zone=11:02 AM
North pole time zone=1:02 AM

Time zone difference

Russia has a 10-hour difference to Namsos
Japan has a 7-hours difference to Namsos

The North Pole has a 14-hour difference to Namsos 
The North Pole has a 7-hour difference to Kushiro
Pevek has a  3-hour difference to Kushiro. The North Pole has a 4-hour difference to Pevek

Who wins the race 

think that Pevek won the race because when you compare the time zones then the times they finished Pevek came first

  1. Hello Andre

    Well done on getting your Google A Day Question to your blog! I am interested to know how you sorted out the time zones. How did you know where you look for each country.

    You are correct that Pevek is the winner!
