I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

Now that's a fascinating factoid, actually! Had no idea, thanks!

IIRC, Clarke had a short story about a robbery in a city on Mars that was on the Prime Meridian, and the plot revolved around temporal confusion...the title completely escapes me, though. Life in the parts you describe must get kinda complicated at times...(dah dah dah, dah!)
