DST Trivia:

To calculate the date of DST:

You can use the following equations to calculate when DST starts and ends. The divisions are integer divisions, in which remainders are discarded. “mod” means the remainder when doing integer division, e.g., 20 mod 7 = 6. That is, 20 divided by 7 is 2 and 6/7th (where six is the remainder). With: y = year.

For the United States:
Begin DST: Sunday April (2+6*y-y/4) mod 7+1
End DST: Sunday October (31-(y*5/4+1) mod 7)
Valid for years 1900 to 2006, though DST wasn’t adopted until the 1950s-1960s. 2007 and after:
Begin DST: Sunday March 14 – (1 + y*5/4) mod 7
End DST: Sunday November 7 – (1 + y*5/4) mod 7;

European Economic Community:
Begin DST: Sunday March (31 – (5*y/4 + 4) mod 7) at 1h U.T.
End DST: Sunday October (31 – (5*y/4 + 1) mod 7) at 1h U.T.
Since 1996, valid through 2099

(Equations by Wei-Hwa Huang (US), and Robert H. van Gent (EC))

Trivia:

UTC-12.00:

UTC−12 is a nautical time zone comprising the high seas between 180° and 172°30′W longitude. Subtract twelve hours from Coordinated Universal Time to obtain the time for this zone. Ships using this time are the last to begin each calendar day.

A number of inhabited islands lie within the longitudinal limits of this time zone, but none of them keeps the date and time of UTC-12. Instead, they keep the time and date (or just the date) of one of the neighbouring zones, usually because they belong, politically, to an island group whose other members lie mostly in the neighbouring time zone.

Since the IDLW time-zone represents the last place on earth where any date exists, it is sometimes used for deadlines and referred to as Anywhere on Earth (AoE)

UTC±00:00:

Notes:
1. The westernmost point where UTC with DST is applied is El Hierro, Canary Islands, Spain (18°00′ W). Time used there is 2 hours and 12 minutes ahead of physical time in the summer, making for the greatest discrepancy in the UTC time zone.
2. The easternmost settlement where UTC with DST is applied is Lowestoft in Suffolk, East Anglia, England (at just 1°45′ E).
3. Note that Ireland uses the term “standard time” in reference to the summer months and “winter time” during what the rest of the time zone calls “standard time”. This is the reverse of the practice of most countries in the EU, but provides the same end results.
4. The westernmost point where UTC with no DST is applied is Bjargtangar, at the northwest peninsula of Iceland (24°32′ W). Time used there is 1 hour and 38 minutes ahead of physical time. This is the greatest deviation from physical time for UTC with no DST.
5. The easternmost locale where UTC with no DST is applied is Bouvet Island, of Norwegian jurisdiction, at the South Atlantic Ocean (3°24′ E).

UTC+3.00:

Notes:
1. The westernmost point at which UTC+03 with no DST is applied is the westernmost point of Sudan, in the West Darfur state, at the border with Chad; Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, located very close to that point, has a longitude of 22°27′ E.
2. The easternmost point at which UTC+03 with no DST is applied is actually the easternmost point of Saudi Arabia, in the Eastern Province, at the border with Oman, with a longitude of roughly 55°20′ E.
3. The westernmost point at which UTC+03 with DST is applied is actually the westernmost point of contiguous Russia, near Lavry, Pskov Oblast (27°19′ E). During the summer the time employed there (corresponding to 60°E) is 33°41′ E of physical time, i.e. roughly 2 hours and 14 minutes ahead of physical time, making for the largest discrepancy between time used and physical time for UTC+3 with DST. This actually the largest discrepancy overall for UTC+03 even if UTC+03 with no DST is included.
4. The easternmost point at which UTC+03 with DST is applied is Cape Zhelaniya, Severny Island, Novaya Zemlya, Russia (69°06′ E). During the winter the time employed there (corresponding to 45°E) is 24°06′ W of physical time, i.e. roughly 1 hour and 36 minutes behind physical time, making for the largest discrepancy between time used and physical time for UTC+3 with DST for that time of the year, but not overall (see note 3 above).
5. On February 8, 2011, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a decree cancelling DST in Russia. Under the decree, all clocks in Russia will advance one hour on March 27, 2011, but will not change back the following October, effectively making Kaliningrad Time UTC+03 permanently, and Moscow Time UTC+04 permanently.
6. Ukraine had UTC+2 plus regularly EEST from 1992 till 2011 (in years 1981–89 Moscow Summer Time) until the Ukrainian parliament added one hour “on the territory of Ukraine from March 27, 2011″ and canceled DST on September 20, 2011 de facto making EEST (UTC+3) the new standard time. After strong criticism from the mass media, on 18 October 2011 the Ukrainian parliament cancelled its previous decision.

UTC+7.00:

Discrepancies between official UTC+07 and geographical UTC+07

Since legal, political and economic in addition to physical or geographical criteria are used in the drawing of time zones, it follows that official time zones do not precisely adhere to meridian lines. The UTC+07 time zone, were it drawn by purely geographical terms, would consist of exactly the area between meridians 97°30′ E and 112°30′ E. As a result, there are Asian locales that despite lying in an area with a “physical” UTC+07 time, actually use another time zone.
Conversely, there are Asian areas that have gone for UTC+07, even though their “physical” time zone is UTC+06 (western most part of Indonesia).

This section is not updated for Russia which changed time zones in 2014.

Areas located within UTC+07 longitudes using other time zones

UTC+8.00:

With an estimated population of 1.708 billion living within the time zone, roughly 24% of the world population, it is the most populous time zone in world, as well as a possible candidate for ASEAN Common Time.

This time zone is used in all Chinese-speaking countries, giving international Chinese websites the same time.

The southern-half of Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) was formerly part of this time zone prior to the communist takeover of the South on April 30, 1975, making it 1 hour ahead of North Vietnam. After 1975, the whole country came under the North Vietnamese time zone, UTC+07:00.

UTC+11.30:

On November 2, 1868, New Zealand officially adopted a standard time to be observed nationally, and was perhaps the first country to do so. It was based on the longitude 172° 30′ East of Greenwich, that is 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. This standard was known as New Zealand Mean Time (NZMT). Today this would be around the same zone covered by UTC+11:30.

UTC+12.00:

Kwajalein Atoll, in the Marshall Islands, advanced 24 hours to the eastern hemisphere side of the International Date Line by skipping August 21, 1993.

UTC+13.00:

History:

The Republic of Kiribati introduced a change for its eastern half on 1 January 1995, from time zones −11 and −10 to +13 and +14, to avoid having the country divided by the International Date Line.

Tonga has been on UTC+13 for many years. Daylight saving time was used in the southern summer seasons from 1999 to 2002.

UTC+13 was used as a daylight time (summer in Northern Hemisphere) in the parts of very eastern Russia (Chukotka and Kamchatka) that used the former Kamchatka Time. Since March 2010 these regions have switched to using Magadan Time instead. (Back to Kamchatka Time from October 26 2014 with no DST)

UTC+14.00:

This is the highest time zone, meaning that areas in this zone are the first to see a new day, and therefore the first to celebrate a New Year.

UTC+14 stretches as far as 30° east of the 180° longitude line and creates a large fold in the International Date Line.

History:

The central Pacific Republic of Kiribati introduced a change of date for its eastern half on 1 January 1995, from time zones −11 and −10 to +13 and +14. Before this, the time zone UTC+14 did not exist. As a British colony, Kiribati was centered in the Gilbert Islands, just west of the old date line. The distant Phoenix and Line Islands were on the other side of the date line. Government offices on opposite sides of the line could only communicate by radio or telephone on the four days of the week when both sides experienced weekdays simultaneously.

The revision of Kiribati’s time zone meant that the date line in effect moved eastwards to go around this country, so that the Line Islands, including the inhabited Kiritimati island, started the year 2000 on its territory before any other country on earth, a feature which the Kiribati government capitalized upon as a potential tourist draw.

Tonga – IANA time zone database zone name Pacific/Tongatapu – used UTC+14 for daylight saving time from 1999 to 2002, and therefore celebrated new year 2000 at the same time as the Line Islands in Kiribati.

At the end of 29 December 2011 (UTC−10), Samoa advanced its standard time from UTC−11 to UTC+13 (and its daylight saving time from UTC−10 to UTC+14), essentially moving the international date line to the other side of the country. Following Samoa’s decision, Tokelau also advanced its standard time (used without daylight saving time), from UTC−11 to UTC+13.

Melee, this is too long XD

[TrainProBlocked]

mhm, who is melee? mhm?

[2FederalParticipant Karma: 12 pts]

Melee, you’re the only person in EC who do something like this lol.

[TrainProBlocked]

Mhm, prove it, simply because I am the Director of Time, whereas melee isn’t… mhm

[takoballballParticipant]

Does drop party timing, has an evolution of eevee that moon ob something as a profile picture and “TRAIN”pro? i dunno man, sounds like a dead giveaway?

[TrevishBlocked]

melee49 AKA TrainPro..Stop lying -_-

[TrainProBlocked]

My identity is still a secret, try it, no more privacy intrusion…

[jwidjaParticipant]

Thanks for this Trainpro i will never miss an oreparty ever again -_- xD

[TrainProBlocked]

Thank you very much, except it is outdated now, I need to re-update it all over again -.-

[DragonEngineerParticipant]

Thanks for burning my 4G data plan…

Jk Jk

Thanks, now I will roughly know when is ore parties

[TrainProBlocked]

I am very sure that this is extremely outdated. I need to redo all of this… I need to ask clock about the new timings, before I modify all of it. Even some places have changed timezones, and I need to redo all of those as well…

[xParticipant Karma: 1 pt]

Too lazy to scroll al the way through the list XD too long

You can bold some of the key words like the time, so as to make them the “category/heading”. So it will make that long chunk of text more organised and easier to read.

[TrainProBlocked]

Before I give my farewell speech, I will spread an announcement from Clock:

Yes I do know that the server is closing down. As such, there will be an Ore Party on 2nd January 2016 (as scheduled). This final Ore Party will be hosted ~15 minutes before the server closes down. The exact timing will be given via TrainPro (myself), when it is confirmed. Check back here for updates. Please enjoy the other events while EC finishes its final days. Until then, cya!
