Quiz and timezones

Today we had a quiz I felt very confident in my ability to name all the countries on the map. As I know now I got a 53/54 which is still very good. We learned about UTC, GMT, Daylight Savings Time, Standard deviation. these are very important in the time and timezones that we have today. Also, it wasn't till the 1800's they introduced timezones. Time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Examples of timezones are Eastern Time Zone in the US is UTC - 05:00 the Western Time Zone in the US & Canada is UTC - 08:00 China’s time zone is UTC + 08:00. There is also something called Coordinated Universal Time which is primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. Daylight savings time is also very important in todays society although people that made the growing movement want it abolished it is still important. Some temperate zone countries use Daylight Saving Time for part of the year, typically by adjusting local clock time by an hour. We typically have a saying for it “spring forward, fall back”. Finally it starts Sunday March 10, 2019 and ends Sunday November 3, 2019.
