Time zones in general are weird. Greenwich (the G in GMT) is GMT plus 1. Nepal is like GMT plus 5 hours and 45 minutes.
There's an infesting ComputerPhile YouTube video about it. I'm on a phone so can't link it easily.

How is that possible? Is the line a few kilometres away from Greenwich, but not closer to any other major town or something like that?
