Here's one I posted a long time ago, but I thought I'd just throw it out now for fun. It came from a discussion among a bunch of us who were killing time between games.

You are officiating a game under NF rules on the deck of a cruise ship. Following a basket by team A, B1 is advancing the ball up the court. He is still in the backcourt when your count reaches 7 seconds.

Just then, the ship crosses the International Date Line and it is now yesterday!!!

The question is: does B1 get an additional 24 hours to get the ball into the frontcourt?
Depends which direction you're heading. Maybe the official has a slow whistle and he's 23 hours, 59 minutes and 53 seconds late making the call.
