Talk:2846: Daylight Saving Choice
I instead suggest that we make the DST shift 12 hours. 172.68.1.190 15:16, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
The terrorist plot wasn't thwarted by this kind of proposal. It was just due to the fact that DST laws differ between countries. Barmar (talk) 15:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
39 minutes
While this figure makes sense (rather than 30 minutes) it was still slightly unexpected at first; as DST has a duration of 238 days, the average year-round time would be 238/365 hours ahead of Standard, or 39 minutes and 7.4 seconds. (Or, to factor in that a leap day occurs in 97 of every 400 years, 238/(365 ⁹⁷⁄₄₀₀) = 39 minutes and 5.8 seconds)
