It would be 24 if all zones where whole hours different from UTC (or what it is called now). But since some zones uses half hours it could be more. However 87 is a surprisingly high figure for me.You're assuming too much. Countries in the same apparent time zone do not have to follow the same DST rules, for example.
Yes, I surely am assuming something that is wrong ;-)Is not "+0200" the offset from the UTC standard time zone (or whatever it is called)? Is there 87 such values?
