i think america has 3 time zones. also im going to write my walking dead review much later today

Oh yeah, the US time zones. There are four in the contiguous 48 states: Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern. Hawaii and Alaska have their own time zones. So that's the six time zones that all the 50 states have. In addition to those, the US had overseas territories in the Pacific that have their own time zones.

It will be aired in Finland only today in the evening. I'm going to see a friend tonight I don't get to see very often, so I'll probably watch on my laptop a bit later. After that, I'll go and read your review.

just letting you know i just finished writing it. also i have a non-spoiler section if you want to know if its just bad or okay or amazing.

So the number of time zones has less to do with its territorial extension and more like France has several overseas territories that it acquired in its times of world power, If we were not considering overseas territories would it be between Russia or USA? my bet is for Russia. cool fact never imagine that it would be france thank for sharing.

I already thought that the old Russia was the one that had the most time zones, I never would have imagined that it was France

I know what things one learns, definitely every day I learn something new. Thank you for sharing this information. Greetings I will tell my oldest daughter

:o, I didnt know that, I thought Either Russia/China/U.S. good to know, kiiti moi xx

There is only one time zone in China! Geographically there should be five zones but there is only one.

It would be weird living in China then. ;)

France had a lot of territories in the fast some of them are still under France control , good fact

Hmm.. That was new to me, thanks!

I was sure it's the USA , we i did learn something new today
Thank you for sharing that

USA and Russia are tied at the second place. One fewer time zones than France.
