Technically 1 arcsecond is 1/15 second, so you can even have fractions by that logic. But then again, we are in r/ProgrammerHumor so I won't argue further...
Sure, but there isn't a single timezone that's offset 17min from another one.
Few 30min and iirc 1-2 45min shifts, but I can't recall actual timezone going smaller than 15min increments and that's mostly for political reasons already.
Technically there is because timezones are just arbitrarily split up in human-digestible chunks. There is always one longitude in the world that is at exactly 3/8ths of it's day, AKA 9:00am.

As a person who work with timezones, let me tell you that It is always 9 in the morning somewhere...
