Does Burn actually eat vegemite sandwiches?if

Trick Question! Australia has 3 main time zones on the main island, (with the middle one offset by 0.5h), and there's a small area called Eucla that's GMT +8.5h. That would make 4, except that Australia still has several little islands in other time zones, and most are also offset: on the east side, Lord Howe Island is GMT +10.5h, Norfolk Island is GMT +11.5, and on the west side, Cocos (Keeling) Islands are GMT +6.5h and finally, Heard and McDonald Islands are GMT +5 (the only one not offset). That makes a whopping 8 Time Zones for Australia, so my answer is A.

As for the bonus, I consider Burn more of an eater of Bovril

The answer to yesterday's question was........ Well now I don't know. The website I used for the infohttp://www.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/australia/time-zones-australia/ says 3, but JelZe brought up some points. So I dug further http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/au/. So the answer is apparently 10, I goofed and I apologize.

B Living Things is my final answer (but with my luck the answer would be Hybrid Theory which was Linkin Park's original name)

Dare to Be Stupid is Weird Al Jankovic. It was from the Original Transformers movie (1986) when the Autobots battled the Junkions.

The answer actually is Hybrid Theory.
