Hello Keith,
+14:00?? I've only ever heard of maxima of +/- 12:00.
AFAIAC, it was political willy waving, nothing more; To be 'first' into
the new millennium.
As if that has any cachet whatsoever.
Now I see. They decreed that they were on the same day as Australia and
New Zealand (apart from the odd hours). Makes sense. We both help assist
them lots. I just wasn't aware that a culture could do that. But do
the US protectorates in the west Pacific (like the place where our
Julian Assange is in court this morning) also adjust there offset from
UTC? That would likely make more sense.
But the being first into the new millennium didn't work. All the IT
gurus headed to New Zealand to see what was going to happen with Y2K bug.
