	This is a bit of a stinker but you missed Namibia which has 2 time zones for half of the year. The Caprivi Strip doesn't have daylight savings unlike the rest of the country which does. I know this because I didn't know it before and missed a bus in Katima Mulilo when I arrived an hour late for it...............

	i don't think having DST is considered having another official time zone however.

	Argentina doesn't end the game if the mine says safe, but will if the mine is blank. Other than that, good quiz.

	darinh:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 18:54 GMT	1 point
	soxfan1: fixed.

	I wonder how many people were surprised by China.

	@soxfan1: in fact Argentina had two time zones three or four years ago, when San Luis province decided to move to GMT-4. The time zone map looked quite ridiculous- only one province isolated in the middle of the whole GMT-3 country, so the measure was withdrawn later. @Ellery37: it's absurd that so big a country (in longitude) like China has only one time zone, but it's also absurd that in Europe Spain has the same time as Poland when they are as far away as New York and Denver. In the last days of July, in northwestern Spain the true noon happens at 2.40 p.m., so in fact 2 p.m. isn't technically in the afternoon but in the morning. Governments shouldn't be allowed to distort to such extremes the astronomical reality.

	Spain is really ridiculous. Aside from Catalonia and the Balearic Isles, all of Spain is west of the Prime Meridian, but the time zone is that of one hour east of the Prime Meridian. How on earth did that happen?

	dancastro:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 00:48 GMT	1 point
	@johnlk: all that began with Germany, Switzerland and Italy, that had the same time (Mitteleuropäische Zeit or Central European Time). Later someone thought "But if France also has the same time, it's more practical for travelers between France and those countries". And still later someone thought "But if Spain also has the same time, etc." Fortunately Europe ends there (Portugal uses GMT).
