Sven Hagemeier of Germany marked his 26th birthday by setting a new world record — for the longest birthday.

As many readers will have no-doubt deduced, he took advantage of the International Date Line, taking flights carefully designed to maximize his stay in the appropriate timezones. The previous record involved a Karachi > Singapore > San Francisco trip in 1998 that extended a birthday to 35 hours. Hagemeier beat that with a trip from Auckland to Brisbane and then to Hawaii.

So readers, can you figure out a set of scheduled flights that would beat the new record?
