Hello,

This interpretation disregards "any fractional part is ignored."

-mtime +0 means that *after* *throwing* *away* *any* *fractional* *part*
(less than a 24:00:00) the time difference is still greater than 0 day,
i.e.  modified at least 24 hours ago.

Same for -mtime -1, which therefore means modified less than 24 hours ago.

Therefore, no overlap, no matches.
