A final trivia question about time zones resulted in a brief bout of bickering between us two players. These things happen in trivia games. But I’m just gonna say – if you HAVE to ask a host to clarify what they mean with a final question, it probably means you won’t get it correct! More about that if you read on…

Final Category – Time Zones

Name either of the locations in the U.S. that are located in the Atlantic Time Zone.

We asked the host if territories would be included as correct answers but he gave no real answer yes or no. So we opted not to go with a territory for our answer and…got it wrong. It happens, sometimes you zig when you shoulda zagged. No point crying over spilled trivia!

As always, Go Pods, and stay classy, tropical storm Alex!
