It was 17:52 in the evening and I couldn’t wait for my class to finish. Only 8 more minutes… I really hate night school!
I sat there pondering the stuff on the blackboard and wondering why he wrote it only 8 minutes before class let out. It reads:
Class, I have a quest ion: What time zone are we in?
Of course I know what time zone I’m in, so why would he be asking this.
Wondering if it was a trick question, I pondered over it.
Earlier in the class I couldn’t help but notice the professor had scribbled a note on the window:
My cat needs food.
Curious, I wondered why he would put that for everyone to see.
While attempting to figure it all out, I get a text from a distant friend.
Them: hey
Me: hey! hows Vik?
Them: <3 love
Them: you eat dinner yet?
Me: no, in class
Me: you have breakfast yet?
Them: yeah, ate at 8 (lol), 7 min ago
Me: lucky, i'm starving
The professor looks around and taps on the blackboard to ensure everyone was working.
I then realize he is just as bored as we are and it’s not a trick question. He just wanted to keep us busy for the last few minutes… so I write down my current time zone and hand it in.
Info:
All times are standard, no daylight savings.
If you answer with the other one, it might just be correct.
Edit
After further research, I realize that the friend location is in one of those shared time zones despite the fact that it sits in another time zone. So, it might be a bit deceiving when looking at time zones.

Answer:
(UTC+8:45)
Reason:
If the time is 17:52 for you, and 8:07 for your friend, the time difference is -9:45. The 45 minute timezone is very rare, so it is one of a few places. The text message says "how's Vik", there is a town in Iceland called Vik, and Iceland is UTC-1, so you are in Eucla, Australia (UTC+8:45).

I'm sorry, but this is not correct. There are clues to the actual GMT in the question, and the friend location

This is correct :) Vik is actually +0, while it sits in the -1 time zone, it's actually +0. But I guess it just depends on what site you look at for reference

@CodeLikeBeaker well I'm in England and I looked up Iceland timezone and it said 15:30 and it's 16:30 for me. I'm used to being UTC+0 as GMT but forget how DST affects that so just put -1 :)

I'm still confused by "My cat needs food" though, He wrote it on a window so I tried to write it down flipped, as if looking from the other side, but couldn't decipher it.

You are in
Nepal, UTC +5:45,
And your friend is in
Eastern North America, UTC -4:00. At 8:07AM in Eastern NA, it will be 5:52PM in Nepal.
You could also be in
Eucla, Australia, UTC +8:45, and your friend in Cape Verde, UTC -1:00.
You could also also be in
Chatham Islands, New Zealand, UTC +12:45, and your friend in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, UTC +3:00.

I have to stand corrected, the friend location is +0, not -1 GMT. My resources lied to me. So, your assessment for the -1 GMT is indeed correct.
