But the real world is rarely that simple.
Today there are as many as 40 different time zones.
There are exactly twenty-two places, according to various sources, where more than three time zones meet.
Some of them are obvious, such as tri-point boundaries between nations observing different time zones.
The strangest ones are located in Australia because the way the countrys different states follow time.
The time zones of Australia and the three state corners where three time zones meet.
These time zones, which differ from each other by 30-minutes, meet at three different places.
