There are way more than 24 time zones - plenty of countries have areas with half hour differences from GMT.

I think that this is my favourite time-zone story.

I preferred it when we had to make wild guesses.
It turns out I'm a lucky guesser.

I'm a bit worried that two people in my group have already said that they liked the questions.

A couple of corkers in there. Really good City question, genuinely did not have the foggiest and I'm usually decent with that type of trivia. Nice to see a couple of Science questions in there also!
