If the Wikipedia map (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/World_Ti...) is accurate: - at the longitude of Kabul you have Afghanistan (+4.5), Pakistan (+5), India (+5.5), and Kazakhstan (+6). - at the longitude of Rangoon you have India (+5.5), Burma (+6.5), Indonesia (+7), China (+8) (and the open ocean at this longitude is theoretically +6)

There is actually also +3 at that latitude. In russia, the moscow timezone reaches far enough in the North.

That means you get 6 timezones for that latitude if you include the ocean.

That's what I get for figuring this out by eye.
