Countries with Multiple Time Zones

Recently I came across a W3C document about times, dates, and time zones. The document claims that only 20 countries observe more than one time zone. The United States is in that list. Can you name the rest of them?

I’ll post the answers to this question tomorrow! Until then, which countries do you think have more than one time zone?

P.S. Please provide your answers as comments!

    Well, there’s Canada and the US and Mexico. And Brazil, and Ecuador (you have to change your watch when you fly to the Galápagos), and Chile (I’m sure Easter Island must be in a different time zone).

    Not much in Europe, unless Greenland counts as part of Denmark. Although France has all those places like French Polynesia and St. Pierre et Miquelon which are integral parts of France… and maybe the Canary Islands are in a different time zone from mainland Spain. Portugal has the Azores which are most likely in a different time zone, too.

    Russia, of course.

    (I’m not googling this, by the way.)

    Probably one or more of the “stans” in Central Asia, though I can’t say which. China should have more than one time zone but officially I believe they only have one.

    Australia, too. And Indonesia. How am I doing? That’s 13 for sure and a couple of possibles.

    naturally like your web site however you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a couple of of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it extremely bothersome to inform the truth then again I will surely come again again.
