I need to work through this time zone problem step by step, using the map provided.

The UK is at 0 (Greenwich Mean Time). I need to find what time it is in each country when it's 12 o'clock in the UK, and whether they are ahead (+) or behind (-) the UK.

Let me look at each country on the map:

India:
- Looking at the map, India shows +5½
- This means India is 5.5 hours AHEAD of the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in India it would be 12:00 + 5.5 hours = 17:30 (or 5:30 PM)
- Sign: +

Egypt:
- Looking at the map, Egypt shows +2
- This means Egypt is 2 hours AHEAD of the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in Egypt it would be 12:00 + 2 hours = 14:00 (or 2:00 PM)
- Sign: +

Paraguay:
- Looking at the map, Paraguay shows -4
- This means Paraguay is 4 hours BEHIND the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in Paraguay it would be 12:00 - 4 hours = 8:00 AM
- Sign: -

Canada:
- Looking at the map, Canada spans multiple time zones. The main part of Canada (where most people live) shows around -5 to -6
- Let me check more carefully - looking at eastern Canada (like Toronto, Montreal area), it appears to be around -5
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in eastern Canada it would be 12:00 - 5 hours = 7:00 AM
- Sign: -

Wait, let me look more carefully at the map. I can see different parts of Canada have different times. The eastern part (where major cities are) appears to be around -5. Let me use -5 for Canada.

Italy:
- Looking at the map, Italy shows +1
- This means Italy is 1 hour AHEAD of the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in Italy it would be 12:00 + 1 hour = 13:00 (or 1:00 PM)
- Sign: +

Mexico:
- Looking at the map, Mexico shows -6
- This means Mexico is 6 hours BEHIND the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in Mexico it would be 12:00 - 6 hours = 6:00 AM
- Sign: -

Iceland:
- Looking at the map, Iceland shows 0 (same as UK)
- This means Iceland is at the SAME time as the UK
- If it's 12:00 in the UK, then in Iceland it would also be 12:00
- Sign: 0 (or could write "same")

Let me double-check my readings from the map:
- India: +5½ ✓
- Egypt: +2 ✓
- Paraguay: -4 ✓
- Canada: Looking again... I see Canada marked with various times. The eastern part where most population lives is around -5. Let me verify this is correct.
- Italy: +1 ✓
- Mexico: -6 ✓
- Iceland: 0 ✓

Actually, looking more carefully at Canada on the map, I can see it's divided into different time zones. The eastern part (Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Ontario) appears to be around -5. I'll use -5 as that represents the most populated areas.

Final Answer:

| Country | Time | + or - |
|---------|------|--------|
| India | 17:30 (5:30 PM) | + |
| Egypt | 14:00 (2:00 PM) | + |
| Paraguay | 8:00 AM | - |
| Canada | 7:00 AM | - |
| Italy | 13:00 (1:00 PM) | + |
| Mexico | 6:00 AM | - |
| Iceland | 12:00 | 0 |
