charles grabbed 1900

Did anyone make note of the progression of grabs that charles had, or could have had?

"Crossing the International Date Line traveling east results in a day or 24 hours being subtracted (so the traveler repeats the date), and crossing west results in a day being added. The exact number of hours depends on the time zones."

Therefore the day could last 48 hours or may not exist at all. Depending which way you are heading in life.

Great answer, Stewy. Each day of the week starts on the western side of the international date line and progresses across the world until 24 hours later the eastern side of the line catches the 'beginning' of the day, which then lasts a further 24 hours for a total of 48 hours.

Except that is not quite exactly the whole situation, it's a bit more complex than that.

I'm wearing my shamrock earrings & a shamrock necklace too,
You gave them to me years ago Mom & I’m wearing them for you,
My exquisite Irish Mother how I can hear your voice so clearly,
Your words of wisdom have rang so true & I cherish them so dearly,
It’s been a long 8 years since we’ve sat down & enjoyed a cup of tea,
Your touch of magic in all you did will forever be with me,
I’m sorry Mom for making you worry when I’d arrive home so late,
When the light in the kitchen window was on, I knew I’d meet my fate,
You were always fair & accepting & helped me to understand,
That principles are one of the keys to life with such a gentle hand,
When you lost your temper & gave me that glaring gaze,
I was a most deserving recipient in very many ways,
I’m remembering some of the things about you that made you so unique,
How only you could burn toast every time, was part of your mystique,
Your sense of humour, your singing & your charming zest,
& how you put up with me, when I was a bit of a pest,
Your youngest daughter is lovingly remembering you,
& your “you’ll understand when you’re a parent advice…
Sure turned out to be true!

Love you Momma xxx

SSEEEEEEEEEE! My head hurts. I knew it would not be a simple answer.

because there's time zones involved wouldn't it be 47 hours as once it reached "hour 48" tuesday would become wednesday (hour 0)

Your thinking along the same lines as I am, but I still think it's 48 but you know there's a catch.

[psells]

Hello, guests! Feel free to collect winning words and such off the backs of my hard-working friends here, but if you want to join us we promise the following:

No, that last one was from somewhere else. Join anyway!

[6ffightr9]

Or does he mean adding up accumulatively for each time zone.

[psells]

because there's time zones involved wouldn't it be 47 hours as once it reached "hour 48" tuesday would become wednesday (hour 0)

No, by that reckoning it would still be 48 hours, whether you count them as 1-48 or 0-47. Keep thinking, it's more fun than work.

[6ffightr9]

OK. Count me in. If you win you can give me 1/35th of your win.

I didn't mean it that way.
