But it's just the date line, so hours and minutes should go on, but the next day will be Groundhog day again. Like it happened when Kiribati moved to the other side of the date line: Friday, 30 December 1994, was followed by Sunday, 1 January 1995, Date line shouldn't affect hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line#Eastern_Kiribati_(1994)
