When it is 2:01 PM Sunday afternoon in Nullepart, it is Monday in Eimissaan. When it is 1:00 PM Wednesday in Eimissaan, it is also Wednesday in Nullepart. When it is noon Friday in Nullepart, what is the range of possible times in Eimissaan?
Anywhere from 10 PM to 1 AM Saturday
Could anyone please explain the answer?
Always post the answer choices along with the question. It makes it easier for the others, and more likely for you to get a response.
Coming to the Question.
1st Condition: Nullepart(N) - 2:01 pm on Monday.
If its Tuesday in Eimissan (E) , E is at least 10 hours ahead, to be precise 9 hours 59 minutes ahead, for it to be 12:00AM on Tuesday. Any less than this and it'll still be a Monday in E.
Also, at max, according to geography, it can be 24 hours ahead.
So the first condition tells us E is between 9:59 and 24 hours ahead when compared to N.
2nd ConditionEimissan - 1pm on Wednesday
Its a Wednesday in Nullepart too. So the time in Nullepart is anywhere between 12AM and 1PM on Wednesday, ie. 13 hours.
Any more than 13 hours, and it would be a Tuesday in Nullepart.
This condition tells us that N, is, at max, 13 hours behind E. Rephrase: E is at max, 13 hours ahead of N.
Combining both conditions:E is 9:59 to 13 hours ahead of N.
When it is Noon Friday in Nullepart:
E = 12PM + 9:59 = 9:59PM on Friday.
to
E = 12 PM + 13 = 1AM on Saturday.
Hope this is clear.
