I ask Google's chatbot, Bard, how many time zones there are.

Chatbot answers.

There are 24 time zones in the world, each one hour apart. However, there are actually more than 24 time zones because of the following:

• Some countries have half-hour time zones. For example, India has two half-hour time zones: India Standard Time (IST) and India Eastern Standard Time (IST†).
• The International Date Line (IDL) creates 3 more time zones. The IDL is an imaginary line that runs through the Pacific Ocean and marks the change from one day to the next.
• Some countries use daylight saving time (DST), which advances the clocks by one hour during the summer months. This creates an additional time zone during DST.

So, the actual number of time zones in the world can vary depending on how you count them. However, there are always 24 hours in a day, so there can never be more than 24 time zones.

So 24 or not. Got it.
