Well . . . I didn't even know until this debate came up, then I had to check. I'm usually not even aware of it until the night before.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Well...yeah. Based on your point of view, then it would be 6 to 6. But I'm in Hong Kong and us citizens are smart enough to not get involved in that kind of stuff. :lol:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

hey guys whats up

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

hey smrt!! Welcome to the debate that is driving me insane. Earlier or later??????? Ahhhh!!!!! It's pretty much split up 50/50.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Earlier, now I want more. :frown3:

Hey Smrt, how are you?

*walks up to bar and orders a beer*

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

the answer is earlier

this is how I think of it:
Benjamin Franklin or w/e his name was, invented this whole daylight savings thing because some people actually used candle wax to tell time...however, in the winter time, it takes wax longer to melt so he set back one hour to keep things a bit more accurate

this is just some theory I made but yeah...

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

he would be leaving an hour LATER, because when peopel set their clocks back they get an extra hour of sleep. it doesn't matter what time he'd wake up, it would still be an hour later--just like the people who live where his work is located.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

YES!!!!! Earlier it is!!! *does victory dance* I was right, I was right!!!!

Ok, speedy, buy me a drink.

Wait a sec, rachel says later. WHYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

earlier?! if you set your clocks back, you gain an hour of sleep because you set them BACK akafor an hour the clocks dont move right??? so you gain



right?!

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

let me recalculate...

*dut dut dut*

*the cliche "carry the one"*

:thinking:

could you repeat the scenario again because Rachel may be right...

Here ya go hon. Anyone else need one help yourself.

Yes, I agree ealier it is.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

I'm out! see you all later!!!

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

ok...well, mainly this is just based on points of view

if you were living in an area that doesn't live in DST but you know someone that does, then by your point of view, then it would seem he leaves an hour later

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

why would you leave earlier if you gain an hour of sleep due to dst???

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Bye labby!!

Thanks, speedy. Delicious.

And don't we lose an hour of sleep?

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

if you set your clocks back then that mean that for example, at 1 am you set the clock back to 12 am, hence gaining an extra hour. right?

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

let me put this in example:

Before DST
You - 7 PM
Him - 7 AM

After DST
You - 7 PM
Him - 6 AM

His clock is set earlier while yours remain the same so it would appear he gets out later

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

hence you get out later too, right??? because hiswork timing is what matters here, not his home timing....

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Yes we do set the clock back and then we get the extra hour of sleep. But it doesn't make a difference to him just his work hours change so he isn't effected by the time change just his work hours. Stock market closed at 4 the day before and now it closes at 3. Even though he didn't loose any time.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

but setting the clocks back, that means that it's set back, right? So it's 11:19 now, where I am, but when I set my clock back it's 12:19.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Hi guys.. whats up?

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

again, this is mainly based on point of view, but now I say it's later...and that's my final answer Regis...lol

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

No, Ninja. Back means to go ealier. 11:19 would then become 10:19. :silly:

*hands another beer to ninja*

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

when you set your clock back it gets later??? i dont get it


BG BEWARE!!!:lol:

but if he works in a dst area then he will have to get up later, hence leave later, right? and as a result he will have gotten an extra hour of sleep, like everyone else!


edit
thank you speed for clarifying that for ninja :lol:



* npfan!!! yay you agree :)

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

I go by that old mantra when it comes to dst... spring forward... fall back :biggrin: looks to me , if the guy lives in an area inaffected by dst, the only thing that would change would be his work time, therefore i say he would get off work earlier due to the time change in the us..
didn't the question say he only worked there and not lived there?

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

ok...one final example

supposed time (without DST): 6 PM
changed time (with DST): 5 PM

with DST, he would've gotten out at 6, which would have supposedly be 7 PM without DST

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

actually rachel.. he would be getting up sooner if he had to turn the clocks back..

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

ninjakitty where the bleep are you?!!!:lol:

where did you get this thing from anyways?!

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

:rotfl: maybe her and mr kitty are disscussing the debate themselves :tongue:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Yes, Bg that's what I have been trying to say. Nothing matter to him except his work hours. Oh, well. Time for more beer.

Attachment 21109

Cheers everyone...:wave:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

me too :lol:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Yes, let's keep drinking. He does get done earlier, though, right?

ah, rachel, I'm from the midwestern US and my friend and I were debating, so I thought I'd get outside help.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

hm... i think that if everyone in his works time zone gains an hour, then so does he interms of work time... but i think it may be useless to keep debating :lol:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Yes he does Ninja. This whole thing has made me sooo thirsty. Drink up...yummy good. :cheesy:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Yes, yummy good. Never tasted anything better.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

grahhh.... so is the madness over now?

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

I think so. I still like the beer though. :lol:

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

Me too . . . mmmmmmmm.

Re: Nordinho Pub Reloaded
 

oh people im heading out. its only 1 am here but i have class in the morning and should really be getting to bed :( moo.
