Neither. It's GMT - 3 here.
Which messes with American's sense of geography. i like the following riddle:

If you travel due south from Key West Florida, which South American country will you enter first?
You won't?
Correct! South America is so much farther east than Americans intuition.

Another fun one is first foreign country reached when traveling due south from Detroit.

As long as I’m posting my favorite geography riddles in a thread having nothing to do with them:

There are 2 US states (call them A and B). There is a location in state A where if you travel due E or due W or due N or due S the first other US state you encounter is state B (re Xorxes: this only concerns land, not water). What are A and B?

Correct. The best part of this riddle is there’s a bridge where you can actually do this.

Neither. It's GMT - 3 here.

Which reminds me... of stupid algebraic word problems. I mean WHY would I be traveling due South on a train? South of here is wilderness, and trains don't go there. And why on earth would anyone buy 170 watermelons? And if I had THAT many cookies I would not be sharing them, I assure you. And there ARE NO FREAKING POLAR BEARS that close to the North Pole! And of course, WHY would I travel due south from Key West? What would be the POINT?????

Ok... actually it was mildly clever.

Confirm me please: although how active are mafia players expected to be?
You don’t have to go unemployed drunk bunny crazy. You are expected to read and think. There’s a bot that helps.
Where does one find this bot you speak of?

There will be a link in the first page of play typically.

Peter Lund will be attributed in the link, in case we get a bunch of links now I’ve said this.

Here is the front page of the bot:
https://mafia.peterlund.se/e/web/front_page

You can find "current game status" on that page.
It is accessible sort of now, but won't be running till the game starts.

Mercer County, WV has a point right next to its border with VA where this is true. Crappy map illustrating as much inbound:
