'You being the experienced developer you know there has to be a list of time zones by country, all you need is that and calculate the difference between the timezones.'
Made me laugh so hard!
'At least your project wasn't needing to calculate the seconds between two points in time, dependent on time zone...'
Got this assignment by a sadistic teacher in the late 90s. Had a lot of fun failing that one and learned to appreciate a good library.
Things like time zones and internationalization are funny beasts - they seem simple in one way but explode with complexity if you delve in remotely deep.

That would be one hell of an assignment!
And, as you said, add history to the mix and you got a recipe for man made psychosis.
