Daylight Savings Time started in the States today. (Culebra stays on the same time year round as day length in the tropics varies a whole lot less than up north. Think of poor Admin having only 7 hours of daylight in December.....) Now Culebra is on the same time as the Eastern zone states. Great convenience for those of us who in the winter struggle to remember not to phone our friends up north in the wee small hours, just because the sun is up here!!!

Does the theory of relativity apply here? Here is a modern math word problem.

You are visiting Culebra from the Central Time Zone. On the eve of your return home, the United States moves from Standard to Daylight Time. Did you just get cheated out of an hour of your vacation?

Yes
Si
No
Not if Air Flamenco is running an hour late
After the conga line at Mamacita's, who can judge?
