Note the 5 3/4 for Nepal.

Why is there a little chunk of Greenland that's 3 hours offset from the rest of the country?

Presumably it has more connection with Iceland than the rest of Greenland (not necessarily historically, but economically or transport or whatever).

Wikipedia doesn't mention it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ittoqqortoormiit

Interesting! There are no airports in that area. The time zone is named Danmarkshavn time zone. Danmarkshavn is a weather station in the zone with a permanent population of 8.
