It would be sensible to not include this topic at all. Some people live in places where they don't observe daylight savings time. It's like testing a pile of edge cases.

Jeanne Boyarsky wrote:Yup! Can you do me a favor? When you take the exam, can you note if they tell you the time clocks change in the daylight savings question and reply to this thread? (presuming you get a question on this; questions are random so it is possible you don't).
I live in the US so I know when we change our clocks. Which means that didn't jump out at me. It'll catch your attention more.
