Ok, now this really happened to me.

I was on a flight from Las Vegas, NV to Orlando, FL. The flight took 4 HOURS total. I left at 9:30 P.M. and arrived at 4:10 A.M. Now think,

9:30 p.m. + 4 hours = 1:30 a.m.

BUT ADD THE 3 HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE,

1:30 a.m. + 3 hours = 4:30 a.m.

Where did those 20 minutes go?

Obviously the flight didn't take the time you thought it did.

traveling by plane isnt always quick. the ride may take 4 hours but you spend a long time driving to the airport, waithing in line. getting ur bags checked, getting on the plane in the gate, getting off the plane, and driving home.

this makes no sense. if it took four hours, then you arrived at 4:30. If the plane really did land at 4:10. then it took 3 hours and 40 minutes. I think its just a flawed riddle
