If you believe that your question has sufficient information to be answered and should not have been placed into this catch-all question, please e-mail GoodQuestion @ WikiAnswers.com and request that it be made into a separate question.
Please ask your question again and include more information in it. WikiAnswers is designed to provide a specific answer to a specific question.
Tip: Don't use pronouns such as he, she, it, them, their, his, her, its, and so forth in your question. Chances are, we won't know who she, he, them, and what it is and won't be able to answer your question. You must indicate the subject properly in your question. However, questions in which the subject is already indicated, may use those pronouns. For example, "When Miley Cyrus starred on Hannah Montana how old was she?" is okay.
Latitude and Longitude Questions with Insufficient Information
If you ask questions such as 'What is located at 30 degrees latitude and 30 degrees longitude?', there could be four possible answers since direction was not specified. Therefore, please include the directions (e.g. north, east, south, west). An example of a good question would be, 'What is located at 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees east longitude?'.
Time-Zone Questions with Insufficient Information
When asking about the time in different places around the world WikiAnswers can only answer if we know (1) the place of interest and (2) a reference point.
Bad: What time is it now in England?
Good: What time is it in England if it is 11 AM in Perth Australia?
Bad: What time is it in Central Time?
Good: What time is it in Central Time if it is 2 PM in San Francisco?
Bad: If it's midday in the US what time is it Japan? (There is more than one time zone in the US.)
Good: What time is it in Japan if it's midday in Chicago?
Bad: How many hours is Tonga behind?
Good: How many hours is Tonga behind Tahiti?
The differences are quite clear.
It might make sense to YOU when asking, but please note that it might be hours or days before someone looks at your question. In the bad examples, above, do you see how someone answering might be, well, a bit flippant and just say "8 PM", or "Evening", or even "Working time"? And that would not really help you out, would it?
Just for reference: Russia has 11 time zones; Asia has up to eight (depending upon how you count); the USA has six or more depending upon DST; Australia has six or more, depending upon DST; South America and Africa each has four; Mexico has four or (one of which does not observe DST) or more; Europe and Greenland each has three; and the Middle East has a whole fistful.
Time zones between areas or countries may be as few as 15 minutes apart or as many as 120 minutes apart. Memphis, TN, USA is NOT the same as Memphis, Egypt. Be specific: Help us to help you!
