UPDATE-8/12/2012 The closing ceremony's time has been changed to 4:00pm ET (12:30am IRST).
----
During London 2012 Olympic games, I was following results by searching "london2012" on Google. I think among Google, Bing and Yahoo, Google shows the result in the best format. Anyway, today I noticed that tomorrow is the Olympics closing ceremony. So I decided to search for the time of the ceremony. As I didn't know the exact phrase for this event, I googled "London 2012 ending ceremony" and Google suggested "London 2012 Closing Ceremony" that seems to be the correct phrase.
Then I pressed the space button and when I was wavering between typing "time" or "date", Google suggested immediately with "Time", "Date" and "Tickets". I chose "time" and then Google answered (beside the common results):
The Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games is on Sunday, August 12, 2012, at 3:00pm CT.Amazing! That's why I love Google!

| Google shows the London 2012 closing ceremony time separately, as you can see above the search results. |
But to converting time of the ceremony to my homeland time (Iran), I just needed to use another search engine: the wonderful WolframAlpha! I used this input value: "3:pm CT to IRST" and the result was: "8:19:21 pm IRDT | Saturday, August 11, 2012". Tada!
Sometimes sticking just to one tool/thing/engine is not a pretty good idea and may even lead you to worse results. So, always seek different ways and try diffident tools, but do not lose your concentrate. That's the point!
