If you‘re so picky, I‘ll as well. I wrote it spans across, not includes all.
But what does that mean? Does Australia span all timezones? Take its zone of UTC+9:30 and then go all the way around the globe to the east until you hit UTC+8 which is also Australia. Congrats you passed through all timezones and are in Australia again.
So you only need 2 areas in 2 time zones and boom you span all of them? How would you define "span" for something like this on a globe?
Yeah, agreed. Span = bridge. It's gotta be contiguous across all timezones. Otherwise it's a fact that France exists in many timezones, but not all.
Still an impressive graphic.
