ZEKASTRA / FORENSIC / SYNTHETIC CASE
Offset Paradox
Compare a fictional UTC entry with local +02:00, +03:00 and +05:00 timestamps. Reconstruct the chronology without mistaking larger wall-clock digits for later instants.
All four records were written for this exercise. UTC offsets are explicit; no real evidence is read or transmitted.
01 / Question & source
Which UTC instant occurred first when the wall clocks show different hours?
Convert each ISO 8601 offset to UTC first, retain the original value, then sort the normalized instants. Record the source ID beside each result.
02 / Construct chronology
Select every event in UTC order
Event buttons are keyboard accessible. An incorrect sequence can be reset and tried again. Source timestamps remain visible throughout.
03 / Document the result
Explain your normalized sequence
A correct answer unlocks the complete UTC ordering for review and copying. No real collection or verification hash is represented in this dataset.
