Time Zone Discussion

I just don't even understand why you are saying. Your explanation makes no sense.
It is a different day on either side of the timezone- this is precisely the reason American Samoa changed because when they were on Friday Australia and NZ were on Saturday and closed. You do gain +24 or -24 hours when you cross it.
If it is 10:30am Monday on the Eastern side, its 10:30am Tuesday on the western side. Thus by crossing you gain or lose 24 hours, 1 day.
I think that is what your confusion is, your post makes no sense to me.
