There is a special-case moment straddling the previous as well as the
next day simultaneously. In 24-hour clockland, if you wish that instant
in time to belong to the day that is ending, you write 24:00 (to denote
midnight at the end of the calender day); on the other hand, if you
desire the instant to belong to the following day, you write 00:00 (a
much more common notation, but I suppose the former has its uses also).
