you can go back a day by crossing the international date line, so what would happen if you covered the world full cicle twice, would you be two day back? could you got two days forward? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Maybe your math teacher will know, unless that math teacher looks in the answers too much.

No, You couldn't. Because going towards the international date line, you're "losing" hours. Since there are 24 time zones, by the time you got all the way back to the line, you'd have lost all the hours you gained by crossing it in the first place. Make sense?

Well, all I know is one year my dad had 3 Thanksgiving dinners on American air bases because of that line. XP
