Talk:3031: Time Capsule Instructions

Neither date has a calender suffix, which allows the finder to assume it to be a BC date, which would render the issue… moot.172.71.102.192 22:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

The answer is simple! Open the box after 2025 (Vikram Samvat calendar) and before 2024 (gregorian) Nerd1729 (talk) 22:49, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

1: Open first box in a GMT+X tz, where is already 2025; 2: Travel to tz GMT+X-Y, where is still 2024, remove second box from inside first box and open it; 3: Wait for the year to turn 2025, close the first box and open it again; 4: Now both first and second boxes were open in the same tz and you can open the third one. 162.158.49.76 22:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC) auroralimin

you have overthought this so much but it works surprisingly Nerd1729 (talk) 23:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Open it standing next to a border between time zones, step across, then stand in both?

The third box can be defeated by being at one of the two geographic poles, which have no time zones (or at least, which can't be said to be in any time zone). Nitpicking (talk) 03:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
