Question for science geeks?

[FunkyMonkee]

Your AT the international date line, it's about to be the stroke of midnight from Sunday into Monday. As soon as the line hit's the midnight mark, you start traveling any way you like (car, bus, plane, train, roller skates, piggy-back on your grandmother, carrier pigeon, ball-bearings, I don't care what.) from west to east all the way around the world TO the date line, again and it takes you exactly 24 hours to make the trip. At the stroke of midnight, you cross over the line. Now, are you in Tuesday, Monday, again, or Wed?

It's still Tuesday.

I'd have to sit and think about it (I asked when I was about to go to bed after being up almost 24 hours) but, why would you say it's Tuesday?

I forgot my reasoning. Explain your question and the real answer.

[FunkyMonkee]

The question is up above and I don't yet have the real answer. Maybe I can figure it out in the shower in about an hour. Having a globe handy would help, too.

Tuesday

[FunkyMonkee]

How did you come to this conclusion?

[Tjw78]

If it just became Monday, 24 hours later it would be Tuesday.

The travel played no role

Unless it was in a DeLorean traveling 88 mph with a flux capacitor. Then there is infinite answers that could all be true 😂

[FunkyMonkee]

What if you were near the north pole and it only took you, say, 5 hours, or pretty much anything less than 23 hours to circle the globe?
Or, if you were AT the north pole and it took you a few seconds to make the trip?

[Tjw78]

Either way you end up where you started and if you step over it after the stroke of midnight wouldn't it just be an hour ahead and not an hour behind? I prefer the DeLorean answer myself lol

I am too stupid to answer this
