Well done, fun quiz!

I suggest accepting 'Colombo' as a type-in for Sri Jaya...

Not sure how 'time zones' are technically defined but, reguarding Apia, -11 = + 13 so the hour is the same as it would be and the date changes by 1

I just used the Jetpunk recommended type-ins.

Good point on Apia. I've added a note saying they are based on standard -12 to +12 time zones.

According to this map https://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/, Apia's time is +14

I don't see that on the map. Looks like -11 geographically to me- and according to many sources the actual time is +13.
