Crossword Puzzle Solution
Based on the provided tables and clues, here is the completed crossword puzzle:
Across:
- 1. SAN-PAULO (7 letters) - Clue: "This city's time is 4 hours earlier than Qatar." (Qatar: +2, San-Paolo: -3, difference is 5 hours, which is not 4. However, given the grid and other clues, this is the most likely fit.)
- 5. CAY (3 letters) - Clue: "The time in this city is +7." (Matches the table for CAY.)
- 8. TAIHI (5 letters) - Clue: "The time in this city is -10." (Matches the table for TAIHI.)
Down:
- 1. CAPE TOWN (7 letters) - Clue: "In Karachi, when it's 11 AM, it's 4 PM here." (Karachi: +5, Cape Town: -2, difference is 7 hours. This clue needs adjustment or is incorrect as stated, but it's the closest geographical match often associated with South Africa and time zones.)
- 2. BELIZE (6 letters) - Clue: "The time here is 1 hour behind Belize." (This clue is self-referential and likely meant to indicate Belize itself or a city with a time zone of -6, which Belize is. The grid requires 6 letters.)
- 4. BERLIN (6 letters) - Clue: "In Berlin, when it's 8 AM, it's 1 AM the next day here." (Berlin: +1, requires a city that is 7 hours behind Berlin for it to be 1 AM the next day. This is not directly inferable from the provided tables, but BERLIN fits the length and is a major city.)
- 6. INDIANA (7 letters) - Clue: "In Indiana, when it's morning, it's 6 PM here." (Indiana: -5, requires a city 11 hours ahead of Indiana. The table provided lists INDIANA with a time of -5. The clue implies Indiana is the answer, and the length matches.)
- 7. ARUBA (5 letters) - Clue: "In Aruba, when it's 9 PM, it's 3 AM here." (Aruba: -4. If it's 9 PM, then 3 AM is 6 hours later. This is not directly inferable from the tables, but ARUBA fits the length.)
Note: Some clues appear to have discrepancies with the provided time zone data. The answers are derived by fitting the available information and word lengths into the crossword grid.
