It's worse than that. Every local time between 0130 and 0230 happens

twice.

I only used that by way of example, and was hoping nobody would pick the
nit. But it's actually 0100 to just-before-0200 that happens twice.

Reminds me of a Car Talk stumper. In brief: two friends were talking on the
phone, one in an East Coast state and one in a West Coast state. While
talking they discover it's the same time for both of them. How come? The
fact I bring it up in this thread is a big hint.

Oh, they're both pilots. That's utterly irrelevant, but brings this back
on-topic.
