Subject: [Interesting Problem?] Crossing Several Time Zones on New Years

Hi Dave, 

  Thanks for you your excellent and valuable Interesting People list;
the topics broached echo many concernsto which I find myself giving
great attention. A problem that is on my mind at the moment however
may not be political enough to be appropriate for that forum, but I
would like to bring it to your attention in the hopes of confirming my
thoughts.

  Briefly, a good friend is departing New York City at 6:00 PM local
time on New Years Eve and crossing 6 time zones en route to Zurich on
a flight lasting 7 hours and 45 minutes, thus arriving in Zurich at
7:45 AM local time on the morning of January 1st. She has asked me
what time it will be *exactly* midnight on her flight so she can
celebrate.

   If you have any idea on the best forum in which such a thought
problem will be well recieved, or if you think it would be
*interesting* to post on IP, I would be greatly appreciative if you
would please let me know.

   Thanks again for your great e-list and your kind attention,

              Forest Mars
              New York City
