heres my nerdy answer so if its a riddle dont mind me, but....
time is a manmade abstract concept that actually has very little to do with anything. which is why time travel is not possible. which is also why you could divide the revolution of the world up into 25 hours or 2 hours or 30495894859403 hours.

Comment to skunk:
i would have to disagree with you sir, time is not a man made abstract. time is an essential part of the structure of our universe along with size mass and energy. you can never describe a cosmic or terestrial phenomenon without specifying the exact point of time it happens in. ( hence time being the 4th dimension).otherwise the description would have no meaning.
you might have meant that MEASURING time is a man made abstract. if this is so then i couldm't agree more. then we can say a day is 2 hours or 2 years long.
Sorry for the nerdier answer but i felt i needed to say this ..
cheers

The answer is somewhere in all the comments, or most, but for me it was just a simple thing.
Let us say you decide that your working hours are flexible and each day you move them an hour ahead, so if you start work todat at 8 am, tomorrow you start at 9, then day after you start at 10, then you start at 11, and so on, however you still work the same 8 hours each day.
More confusing for me is the guy who works to a 25 hour clock. If he is in at 10 today, it will be 11 tomorrow, then 12 - you can get the general idea.
