Seems like they needed a latitude based timezones on top of longtitude timezones... A grid based timezone system. Sounds like it would pay for a lot of developers careers... And a nightmare. I grew up at 59 degrees north latitude. Daylight savings was pointless. Wintertime I'd go school in the dark (8am) and go home in the twilight (2pm). Lunch time was bright though... My parents grew up at 70 degrees north, where daylight saving is totally useless as there is no daylight in the middle of winter. I now live at 51 degrees latitude and my kids go to school in daylight as school start an hour later here. For a few weeks in the winter daylight saving does make a tiny difference for their morning but not afternoon. But as an adult daylight saving always went the wrong way as it means evenings get darker sooner. I don't care if I commute in the dark in the morning, but I do prefer to do things after school/work in some daylight/twilight.
