Places in the continental US and in Canada where, whether officially
or otherwise, Daylight Saving Time is not generally observed.

* Jerry Friedman:
And the one removed is "parts of Indiana"?
To be precise, it seems that the list should have included "parts
of Nunavut".
But I have a usage question.
Apparently, the list was:
Saskatchewan,
parts of Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec,
Arizona other than the Navajo Nation,
Sonora
I first read it as
Saskatchewan
was late anyway and read the answer.)
Is the bracketing really unambiguous as is? It is certainly a good
solution, because "British Columbia and Quebec" are not a natural
pair in most contexts, but this context could be special.
I see that the "other than" and lack of any further "and" does
rule out a longer bracket than mine.

Java is kind of like kindergarten. There are lots of rules you
have to remember. If you don't follow them, the compiler makes
you sit in the corner until you do.

Jerry Friedman explained on 8/31/2012 :
answers make sense anyway. (well, except for Mark's crowning
achievement in last year's ... I had to read the official explanation
several times, IIRC.)
