Honestly, I don't get why anyone would want their timezone not to be a round hour. Surely the extra complexity and increased chances of mistakes isn't worth it? Timezones are bad enough when they're a round number. And as the map shows, many places don't match their geological position, anyway, so it's not like being 15-30 minutes off is a big deal.
