45-minute offset zones

Nepal (+5:45), the Chatham Islands (+12:45 / +13:45 DST), and the Australian Eucla region (+8:45) are offset by three quarters of an hour. A local hour straddles a UTC slot 45/15, so even majority assignment is badly lopsided.

Detection

zoneOffsetMinutes % 60 === 45 (or === 15).

Mitigation

01
Overlap-weighted apportionment only; never snap a 45-minute-straddled hour to a single slot.
02
Carry the fractional weights through to reporting so the bias is visible.
