As we all know, Aldous Huxley, C. S. Lewis, and President Kennedy all died on the same day: Friday, November 22, 1963. Huxley died in Los Angeles, Lewis died in Oxford, and Kennedy died in Dallas.

What I'd like to know (just out of curiosity) is: in chronological order throughout that day (taking into account both the different time zones and the time of day each man died), what order did these men die in?

Is it possible to figure this out?
 
Assuming the sources are correct and my math and time zone skills are ok:

November 22, 1963:

C.S. Lewis ~ 5:32 PM ~ Oxford
JFK ~ 1:00 PM ~ Dallas
Aldous Huxley ~ 5:20 PM ~ Los Angeles

Lewis died @ 5:32PM in Oxford, 9:32AM in Los Angeles, 11:32AM in Dallas.
JFK died @ 1:00PM in Dallas, 11:00AM in Los Angeles, 7:00PM in Oxford.
Huxly died @ 5:20PM in Los Angeles, 7:20PM in Dallas, 1:20AM the next morning in Oxford.

Lewis dies, then JFK about 1.5 hrs later, and then Huxly about 6hrs 20mins after JFK.

Thanks, M. That represents quite a bit of work on your part. I'm sure you're math skills are better than mine!
