Mine is certainly: > Nepal Standard Time (NPT) is the time zone for Nepal. With a time offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of UTC+05:45 all over Nepal, it is one of only three time zones with a 45-minute offset from UTC.

Nepal used to follow IST (Indian Standard Time) but chose to switch by 15 minutes in the 50s. I read somewhere that it was to make sure everyone knew that it was an independent country.

  Ireland technically doesn't mirror the UK's timezone. Irish Standard Time is UTC+1, and we go back an hour for winter. Unlike the UK, which is at UTC+0, and goes forward an hour for the summer. They're functionally identical, technically opposites, and I can't help feeling the reason is very, very similar.

    Yes, if it wasn't for the over-riding desire to avoid a time difference between Northern Ireland and Ireland, we may have ended up with a performative GMT+0:45 timezone.

    TIL! Wow, that's definitely something else.
