We celebrate both January 1 and the lunar new year, called Seolnal or Seollal. On a recent exam I had my students (about 150 undergrads) answer which they considered more important, and surprisingly they mostly said January 1. (We don't have school for either holiday, because winter break is over the solar new year (end of December to March), but the lunar new year break is just 4-5 days, including Saturday and Sunday. Workers may think differently because they only get January 1 off and maybe Dec 25, but not the days in between them.
Nice quiz :)) I think though that NZ should be +0:15 and Australia should be +3:00 because of daylight savings time, the summer time zone for Chatham Islands is +13:45 and south eastern Australia is +11:00 :))
I agree. The quiz implies it is when New Year is 'celebrated' . Doesn't change which countries appear, and is consistent with the logic of using observed time rather than longitude that excludes the western reach of Alaska.
