A big chunk of central Greenland lies in TZ -2h. Officially, though they are in -1h, -3h, and -4h at least that's what my atlas shows. There are several TZs that are Hh.30m and Hh.45m. There have been 20 and 40 min offsets in the past. India is +5h.30m Central Australia is +9h.30m Nepal is +5h.45m Thanks for the excuse to pull out the atlas. gt
