   Yeah, that sounds like fun. If I remember correctly from the Y2K
celebrations you even have a point where three different time zones meet, so
with just a few small steps you can time travel back and forth. Right?

   Sweden is fortunate enough to have longitude 15 (UTC+1) running right
through the middle of our country. That means that true noon in Stockholm is at
11:54 and in Gothenburg at 12:12. Those are the two biggest cities here.

   The two extremes, Str”mstad in the west and Haparanda in the east, both tiny
cities with about 7,000 citizens, have true noon at 12:16 and 11:24
respectively.

   Now moving the clock one hour actually means a lot here.
