Assuming you crossed the border between the province of Newfoundland and
Labrador and the state of Washington.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, for your trivia question of the
morning, in
what two countries that abut one another would you experience a four
hour,
thirty minute time shift when you cross either of their borders, going
from
one country to the other?

And for a bonus question, how in the heck could such a thing be
possible?
