Another trick question. If you are going through the Panama Canal from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean (Gulf of Mexico, actually), what general compass heading are you going?
Answer: As best I can determine there are 36. There are of course the standard 24 times zones (one for each hour of the day), and an additional 10 "political" time zones that are off by a half hour, and two more that are off by a quarter hour. I have yet to find a single website that lists all 36 in one place. Perhaps someone has a more definitive answer and link.

Wow. I had no idea about the "political" time zones. Cool.

Yeah, and China has one time zone from the Yalu River to Kashi....but they still keep local time, Kashi being three hours behind Beijing.
I think Labrador is one half hour ahead of Nova Scotia.
The first populated land where the Sun will rise in the new millennium (and at the beginning of any other year) is at Kahuitara Point (44° 16' S 176° 9' W) on Pitt Island in the Chatham Islands, a dependency of New Zealand.

Also, it's a place where you could watch the sun rise over the Pacific and set over the Atlantic!
