Did you get it? Hopefully, it wasn't too hard...
The answer: Los Angeles is two hours behind Dallas. So when Los Angeles was at 11:11:11 PM on 12/31/2010, Dallas was at 1:11:11 AM on 1/11/2011. A way to write the first date of 2011 is 1/11/11. Which means 1:11:11 AM looks exactly like 1/11/11.
Cool, huh?

A Question for the New Year
I know it has been a while since I've posted here, but hopefully in the new year I will be post more often with mathematical observations and contests.
So here's a question to get you thinking... when the current time in Los Angeles, California is eleven minutes and eleven seconds after eleven in the evening tonight (December 31, 2010), what will be happening at the same time in Dallas, TX?
Answer to appear soon. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's Almost That Time...
Summer break is approcaching the end, so take in as much as fun as possible...
Then open up your mathematical mind and come in running for the 2010 - 2011 school year. You must believe that this will be the best school year yet and thinking anything less than that is just not acceptable.
We'll be here all year long for your math (and puzzle) needs. STAY TUNED for assignment postings, announcements, games, and more.
Go ahead, it's OK to think about the new year...
