I don't like all the different Time Zones, guess I have to just learn to live with them.

The earth is an oblate sphere (flattened at the poles)
So 360 degrees around. There are 24 hours in a day. 360 divided by 24 = 15.
For every 15 deg. you travel east or west time changes by 1 hour. In practice countries modify this so small countries aren't on different time zones etc.
If you were to travel around the world in one direction you would be 24hrs out when you got back to where you started. Except we have the International Date Line to correct this.
Hope this helps.

I bet they argue in Fiji all the time about which day it is.

In the USSR, so I’m told, all train stations across the country showed arrival and departure times as Moscow time. Saved printing costs, of course, but devilish for people not living in the same time zone as Moscow.

Being omnipresent, I reside in all time zones simultaneously. It makes meal times very confusing.

Unlike you I think of others who live in different time zones gooster.

When they are awake I am sleeping and goes the same the other way. Games would move along better if we were in the same time zone.
