It would have to be 24, as Earth makes one complete revolution in 24 hours. In sequence, time zones increase or decrease by one hour increments, depending on which direction you travel.

Its NOT 24
There are many countries and parts of countries that have time zones that are not one whole hour (e.g +4:30 Kabul, +5:45 Katmandu) add to that the duplicate time zones that happen to have the same time offset but they have to be named separately because of the geography.
Plus there are other countries that declare their own time zone for economic, political or and practical reasons. (eg: Sri Lanka changed from +6:00 to 5:30 when a new president came to power last year)
Also there are "countries" that are not recognized by the United nations that declare their own time zone!
There is no standard NUMBER of time zones in the planet.
Microsoft Windows XP clock settings have a list of over 75 but some of it is already outdated!

39.
"There are 39 time zones dividing the Earth with different times, each with its own name, like Atlantic Standard Time. The Atlantic Standard Time zone contains large cities like New York."
