Riddles - 8.12.5

.


1) Two people are talking on the phone long distance. One
is in an East Coast state of the U.S., the other is in a West
Coast state of the U.S. The first asks the other, "What time

about the time. How is this possible?



2) Can you tell me what is remarkable about this rather

and the phone call takes place on daylight-
savings-time changeover day at 1:30 a.m.


2) It is a palindrome, which means it reads
the same backwards and forwards!


3) Saturday
