Two people in the US are talking on the phone. One person is in a state on the Atlantic Ocean, and the other is in a state on the Pacific Ocean. One happens to mention the time where they live, and the other replies, "that's funny, it's the exact same time here!" Both of their clocks are correct. How can this be?

The probaly didn't say Pm or Am, but I don't think they could be 12 hours away from each other or could they. Oh one's in
Hawaii or the Aluetian Islands (I can never spell it correctly, they'e off alaska) while the other is by tthe Alantic therefore making 12 hours away from each other.

They probably live near the gulf of Mexico where their time zone would be the same.

The answer better not be "daytime" or "nighttime."
