Let's solve each question step by step using the
time zone map provided.

🔹 Understanding the Map:
- The map shows time zones relative to
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is marked as
0.
- Each vertical line represents a time zone, and the numbers at the bottom show the
hour difference from GMT.
- Negative values (e.g., -8) are
west of Greenwich.
- Positive values (e.g., +5) are
east of Greenwich.
