Well, Iodine was discovered in 1811 in the ashes of seaweed, hence ashi. That's all I got so far.

After the contest you should analyze us based on our wrong answers. Supermarkets are so last forum.

That's GMT, not local time.

Yes, or in any time zone. The sun sets at the same moment on a "global clock".

I'm seeing 9:41 for Leeds and 5:50 for Buenos Aries, local times.

It's a bit approximate, but should be good within around 10 minutes. Buenos Aires would be 4 hours behind GMT at that time of year.

I'm looking forward to the explanation of this question. It's been driving me crazy.
