I am using NSDate to get the current time in UTC. I want to find a way to use that to calculate which time zone is currently 12pm.
I am looking at the NSDate class reference and am not sure what I should use.

What's your definition of which timezone is currently 12pm? Does this include 12:10pm? 12:40? It's possible that two timezones could be in the 12pm hour since some timezones are offset 30 minutes. – rmaddy Jun 17 '14 at 19:18

Yes it includes the whole hour up to 12:59. Hmm I did not know this. What could be done in this situation? – Toast Jun 17 '14 at 19:20

I was thinking of just calculating the difference, in hours, between 12:00 and the current UTC time and move over that many time zones just for a rough answer. – Toast Jun 17 '14 at 19:22

Try something first and see what you get. If you get stuck with your solution, update your question with what you have tried and explain the issue you are having. – rmaddy Jun 17 '14 at 19:24

Okay, based on my theory, my real question is, how could I compare current time with 12pm of the current day. I only see ways to compare with a set date. – Toast Jun 17 '14 at 19:26
