A child is born on August 19th 2016 00:12 (local time) on timezone GMT + 1.
Another child is born on August 18th 2016 23:48 (local time) on timezone GMT.
Which one is the oldest?
Note: Not sure I tagged this properly. I could use some help.
Answer
Legally,
GMT child is older, as they'll celebrate/commiserate their birthday the day before GMT+1 child, despite being born 36 minutes later.
There will be a point where GMT child is 21 years old whilst GMT+1 child is 20, for example (which would be incredibly annoying if they were attempting to go to a bar in the USA (GMT-4 to GMT-10, I believe). That's largely moot, though - since they were likely born in the UK and France, GMT+1 child can start drinking 1 year and 364 days before GMT child)
