There's a popular misconception that there are 24 time zones in the world. Nope, there are more.

There are also places in the world where the time difference is > 24h, with the largest difference at 26h. When one place is slowly winding up Saturday, the other has already started Monday!

What creates additional time zones?
1. 24 "normal" time zones (1 for each hour in a full day)
2. 11 "weird" time zones (who cares about full hours, let's be original and add 30 or 45 minutes instead!)

3. 3 "bonus" time zones along the International Date Line (to keep some nearby territories in Pacific Island in the same day, which creates the +13 and +14-hour time zones, making 24h+ time differences possible)

38 time zones in total.
