The difference in time between Jeopardy at home and away - half an hour - makes me think you must be Canadian, Fbone. Canada is the only country I know where some parts are in a time zone which is not a whole number of hours different from other parts of the country. Are you from Newfoundland?

A few seconds later: I feel dumb. I chose a new style for viewing postings, which moves the location information to the right, so I didn't see the NJ. Still NJ is very close to NFL
In Western Australia we have one and a half hours time difference from South Australia and the Northern Territory, they are half an hour different from the Eastern states. Which makes us in WA 2 hours different from the Eastern states and then it will all change again for summer time depending on which states have it and when they start.

PS I haven't forgotten the Taswegians, just lumped them in with the Eastern states.
