No and that’s irrelevant trivia. What I know is if the state I live in is on that list. Oregon and it is. Don’t care what the other 13 are if I’m asking for a time in the state I live in.
The point is that just because you know the state doesn’t mean you know the time. They’re unrelated. It is reasonable for a person in Portland to ask what time it is in Ontario. They may know there are two time zones around eastern Oregon but where is the line?
Idaho is the same way. What time is it in Riggins? I’m from Idaho and I don’t even know the answer to that question. It’s a reasonable thing to ask siri.
No, it isn't important. What's important is how to answer the question that was asked. The number of time zones in a state has nothing to do with the time in a location. You just need to disambiguate what location is the subject of the question.
The point I was making there is not all states have one time zone so it is reasonable to think someone could ask for the time somewhere else because they don’t know what time it is there. Even if that somewhere else is in the same state.
I had hoped that would also demonstrate that the solution here is to just answer what was asked instead of saying “that’s not something people would ask.”
They would ask that and if you are designing a system based on what you think users won’t do then you’re gonna have a bad time.
Because they want to know what time it is in a different location.
14 states have more than one time zone. Do you know which ones?
