Answer:
The site gets that information from your browser. If you view source on this page, you can see where this happens. The line is: Q.cookie("tz", new Date().getTimezoneOffset(), {"path": "/"});

Your browser knows, through your OS. Quora probably injects some Javascript into the page so a universal timestamp from a Quora server can be customized to suit you. So Quora 'apparently' knows your timezone. It may be roughly determined through your IP address as well.
