@fmf saidI wondered this myself when I was a young man. Since longitude lines intersect at the poles, and the time zones follow suit, there is no true zone there. They use whatever time zone they want. I heard many use GMT.
Lines of longitude essentially correspond to intervals of time with 15° for each hour, national borders and other variations notwithstanding.
But lines of longitude meet at the poles, so what time is it at the north and south poles?
@fmf saidIt’s always 15 degrees between the lines of longitude and it’s aways 1 hour of earth’s rotational time between them no matter if you’re standing on the equator or at the North Pole.

@fmf saidEach Black Box is essentially a mini TARDIS and it is grown not built. It’s indestructibility comes from its power source which is a miniature, artificially created black hole called an Eye of Harmony. The protective field of the Eye of Harmony only extends to the outer surface of the Black Box. Airplanes on the other hand are built not grown, and they are made of aluminium (or aloominum in the US) which is not indestructible.
They have indestructible black boxes on airplanes; so why can't they make the whole airplane out of the same substance?
Editors note: there is a loosely associated connection between harmony within the aircraft cabin and its tendency not to crash, this is why rowdy passengers get duffed up and removed. The miniature “black hole” within the cabin is the toilet, and it is a place when some measure of lone harmony can be sought away from the other passengers.

@divegeester saidChina are 12 hours ahead of the US so why didn't they warn them about 9/11?

@fmf saidIt would be much heavier, so much so that the required engine power and fuel to get it aloft wouldn't pay off. Moreover, all that armor plate would only protect the airplane, not the passengers.

@torunn saidThey grow up among their own species. Even if many of them wouldn't really recognise "he's the same as I", they will recognise "he's the same as my family".
No intriguing question, just something I would like to have an answer to:
How is it possible for species to recognize each other, animals don't have mirrors so how come they know what they are and what others are?
@shallow-blue saidIf an animal is taken care of by humans from birth or very early age, if/when released into the free, don't they know what group of animals to join?
