Yes.
No, it is not. Some places (ie: Nepal) have a 15 minute time difference.
.
Kabul, Afghanistan is in a half hour time zone and there are others in
Australia and in India.
Newfoundland was not a part of the country of Canada when the standard timezones were established, so it went its own way. The Island of Newfoundland is the only part of the province where Newfoundland Time is actually observed. It's 3.5 hours earlier than GMT, which is appropriate for its longitude.
Newfoundland (NFT/NDT; UTC-3.5/UTC-2.5) is 4.5 hours ahead of Las Vegas (PST/PDT; UTC-8/UTC-7)... so when it's only half past 12 in Las Vegas, it's 5:00 in Newfoundland.
Actually, depending on which province you are in your perspective to the question will change. Nova Scotia (PEI and New Brunswick) is actually an hour later then Ontario and Quebec and 1/2 hour earlier then Newfoundland. The reason that NFLD and NS are only 30 minutes apart is because NFLD is further north then NS, PEI and NB and only extends slightly further east then the rest of the maritimes.
Newfoundland (UTC-3:30/UTC-2:30) is 1½ hours ahead of the Dominican Republic (UTC-4) from the 2nd Sunday of March to the 1st Sunday of November and ½ hour ahead the rest of the year.Newfoundland and Labrador ranges between 0 hours behind and 0 hours 30 minutes ahead of Dominican Republic.
There are 24 time zones in the world, each representing a one-hour difference in time. However, some regions use half-hour or 45-minute offsets from this standard, resulting in more than 24 distinct time zones.

Newfoundland & Labrador is a fabulous place! The only bad thing is the long, cold winters!

Because if it were only 30 minutes, it would only be a half hour.
It is legal to water ski in Washington State from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sundown.
only a half an hour to an hour
This may be just a little confusing, but in eastern Canada there are three provinces which are collectively known as "the Maritime Provinces." They are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Often they are referred to as "the Maritimes." The three Maritime Provinces, plus the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, make up "the Atlantic Provinces." (Colloquially, the four Atlantic Provinces are often referred to as "Down East" or "Down Home.") The three Maritime Provinces are in the Atlantic time zone. Atlantic Time is one hour earlier than Eastern Time. That much is simple and straightforward. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador includes, of course, the island of Newfoundland, plus much of the eastern coast of Canada north toward Greenland, which is known as Labrador. The island of Newfoundland is in the Newfoundland time zone, which is half an hour earlier than the Atlantic time zone. Most of Labrador is in the Atlantic time zone. A small portion of Labrador, the southeast corner, is on Newfoundland Time. The French territory, the islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, just off the southern coast of Newfoundland, is on Atlantic time. Therefore, Canada can claim to have five and a half time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Atlantic and Newfoundland. Each of the first five is one hour different from the next, but Newfoundland is only half an hour different from Atlantic. Do you know how to pronounce "Newfoundland"? It's "Newf'nland." It rhymes with "understand." The secondary accent is on the first syllable and the primary accent is on the final syllable.
It only takes about an hour to an hour and a half
