let me explain isoman... the "slice" of the earth between 165 degrees west longitude, and 180 degrees longitude, consitute the 24th hour of time, every day/date, as it is the very last time zone that borders the international date line, at 180 degrees... you cannot say 180 degrees west, because it is also 180 degrees east...it is simply 180 degrees, longitude...commonly referred to as the International Date Line.... if you are standing on the I.D.L. at 11:59, p.m., as you say, facing north, then west will be on your left...there will be one more minute of that day/date remaining...that day/date has been going on for the past 23 hours and 59 minutes...to your right, you will have one more minute of the FIRST HOUR OF THE SAME DAY/DATE... at midnight, when the date changes, it becomes a new day/date WEST of the I.D.L. (180 degrees longitude, to 165 degrees EAST longitude), and is noon at 0 (zero) degrees longitude, (g.m.t.), of the day it has been west of you, for the past 24 hours... time moves to the West, one hour, one time zone at a time... zero degrees longitude, in greenwich, england, being halfway around the world will be in the twelfth time zone behind you...as far as the change of day/date is concerned... it is already monday, west of the international date line as i write this, but it remains today here...the date changes at the 180 degree longitude, not the 0 degree/g.m.t. in the first time zone WEST of the I.D.L., it will remain that day/date for 24 hours, but with each passing hour, it becomes that day/date in each new time zone, working toward the west, one hour at a time... 23...(twenty three), hours later, the last time zone, (immediately east of the I.D.L.) will change over to that day/date, to finally be the same as the time zone where it began (immediately west of the I.D.L.)...and for that one hour only, every day, the entire world will be in the same day/date... so...for 23 hours in the new time zone, the last time zone is coming closer and closer until it begins there...then the day lasts for 24 hours in IT, the last time zone... 47 hours, is the correct answer... glad you guys and girls enjoyed this...seeya all later...donald
