I went to my local 7-11 the other night around 10 pm. The kid was locking up. I said, "Aren't you open 24 hours?" He replied, "Duh - not in a row!"

Shouldn't 7-11 close at 11?

Actually, the 7-11 by my undergrad school did have those hours - open at 7 am, close at 11 pm.

That's how the company got it's name. Originally, they were all open from 7 to 11, which was very unusual for stores at that time.

I can't fault any of you for not knowing that, because it happened way before any of you were born - around the year 711. However, I remember it well.

Actually, I did in fact know this. That fact and a quarter will get me a phone call, but meh, what can you do.

It is 11 somewhere if they close at 10.

And it's 11 somewhere when they open at 7.

India straddles two time zones, so they split the difference and put the entire country at half past (it's 7:40 am here and 5:10 pm there). Nepal likes to be different so they're :15 ahead of India.

What was the question?

I've also heard that all of China is one time zone. It's geographically large enough to cover 6 time zones or something like that, but the whole country is on Beijing time. I just looked it up; it's GMT +8 hours.

We have a similar situation here in the US.

Cleveland is a step & a half behind the rest of the country.
