My mother, and time zones

“Everything OK for you to pick us up on Saturday?”

“Yes, mum. What time’s the flight?”

“We arrive about 9am. You’d better check online.”

So I do. “Depart Vancouver: Sat 27 August…”

Mystery prize for who can guess when it arrives in London.

my guess would be Sunday …

You mother will arrive Monday. What do I get?

Monday.

August 32rd. :smiley:

Mewsday, Augtember 5nd, at 3:66 pm.

5am-ish Monday morning.

My second favroite date and time! :smiley:

London, Ontario or London, England?

If she’s stopping over in Reykjavík, she’ll be in London maybe Wednesday (with a relly bad hangover and some dried fish).

And what, exactly is the mystery prize? We need to know.

She will never get there. The distance from Vancouver to London is approximately 7585 km. To reach London, Mom would first have travel half that distance (3793 km). But to reach that, Mom would first have to travel half that distance (1896.5 km), and to reach that distance . . .

Since space is infinitely divisible, Mom will have to reach an infinite number of half-way points in a finite time. This is impossible, so Mom can never reach London.
