Which cities are on a different clock?
Ecuador does not kick off once. Quito, Galápagos are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, Quito at 6:00pm, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.
