I'm not reconciling the solution to Q3, Ch 8 of the Word Translation Guide. Question states "When it's 2:01 PM Sunday in Nullepart, it's Monday in Eimissan; when it's 1 PM Wednesday in Eimissan; it's Wednesday in Nullepart. Given it's noon Friday in Nullepart, what's the possible range of times in Eimissan?"
If we let X be the # of hrs ahead, based on the first part of the question - 10 <= X <= 22 (i.e.it can be as early as 12am Mon or as late as 11:59pm Mon)
Based on the 2nd part of the question - X <=11 (i.e. no later than 11:59 PM)
Given the above constraints, shouldn't 10<=X <= 11? Instead the solution has 10<=X <= 13. What am I missing?

This part: when it's 1 PM Wednesday in Eimissan; it's Wednesday in Nullepart We know Elmissian is ahead of Nullepart, so Nullepart could be 12am (13 hours behind 1pm). There's your 13. Looks like you already have the other boundary of 10, so it's 10 < x < 13.

no. what makes you think that?
by the way, be careful bumping questions. every time you do that it puts the question at the absolute end of the queue for us to answer. bumping a question is the most effective way to cause a delay in getting your question answered..

because it starts with 2:01, not 2:00 so the first hour needs 59 min not 60 min to be covered. And 12:00 is already the second day (not 12:01
thanks for ur reply and the info on the bumping questions
cheers
