-----------------------------------

you can get system time by using

var t:int
wallclock(t)
put t


it returns an int value that equals to the number of seconds passed since January 1st, 1970 (using system's clock)

You can't detect time zone using turing, but you could ask something like "what time is it now in england" and figure it out from there.
