One would think the answer is 24. But no. There are a total of 55 about time zones in the world. Why so many? Each country decides their specific time. Most will adhere to a regional time zone, bit many will countries and regions that have their own time zones that are off by 30 minutes from the time zone around them such as Newfoundland, Venezuela, India, and Iran. Some are off by 15 minutes such as Nepal. In the Pacific several islands have their own time zones. They will share the same time as a neighboring island, but they are one calendar day ahead or behind their neighbors.
