When I was in the Navy, my ship visited Petropavlovsk during the summer and they were on UTC+13. That was weird to begin with, what with the theoretical limit on only twelve time zones each direction from Greenwich. But then after the visit, we headed due south and then crossed directly over into the UTC+10 time zone for Guam. So one night we set the clocks back three hours.
Nice if you were asleep, not so nice if you were on watch...

- jcranmer 11y agoCross the border from China to Afghanistan, and you'll have a 3½ hour timezone change.
- ptaipale 11y agoCross the border from Finland to Karelian Republic in Russia, and "wind clock forward one hour, wind calendar back 50 years". In good and bad.

That was weird to begin with, what with the theoretical limit on only twelve time zones each direction from Greenwich. New Zealand routinely goes to UTC+13 with the aid of daylight savings. Our business team are in Germany, so we have three different time offsets between us over a year as daylight savings in both countries come and go.
