Sweet! Sign me up to live on the first colony.
In the Mars series (Red, Green and Blue) by Kim Stanely Robison, the humans living on Mars came up with a solution to the extra 40 minutes a day.

They ignored it. Every night at 24:00, clocks stopped for 40 minutes and then started back up. I can't think of a better solution.
