Click For Summary
The Physics Forums Quiz is scheduled for Sunday, October 2, 2011, at 20:00 GMT, during the chat session. Participation is open to all members, and the quiz is intended for fun, with specific rules in place. The quiz master will award points for correct answers, and members are encouraged to limit chat to quiz-related discussions during rounds. The quiz will consist of two rounds focusing on Science, Nature & Technology, and History. Participants engaged in a lively discussion about time zone conversions, particularly between GMT, CST, and EST, with some humor about the challenges of daylight saving time. The conversation also included light-hearted banter about competing against a member named Pengy and the playful notion of banning him. The quiz aims to foster community interaction and enjoyment among members.

It's 4 pm EST! Are you using the same website that I was complaining about lying? Because apparently is IS DST over here. I'm EST and I'm strongly advising you that it will be 4 PM EST.

Why is this looking familiar?
When would daylight saving be in effect in EST?

I remember you were looking at a website that said daylight saving was not in effect in EST.
I just found this: "During the eight-month period of Daylight Saving Time, the names of time in each of the time zones in the U.S. (map) change as well. Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time, [...]"
So EST never has daylight saving and you are currently not in EST, but in EDT.
