Though then you're just swapping that for the problem of remembering stuff like "Is 2am GMT a good time to call Japan?"

- kuschku 11y agoJapan will be around +10 hours, so it’s 12h – sure, noon. Remembering which country is where is standard in school, roughly estimating timezones from that is easy (US varies from -8 to -4, most of europe is 0 or +1 or +2, as is most of Africa, Russia is +3, middle east is around +3 and +4, china is +8, just like singapore and japan; australia, new zealand are between +10 and +12; I have no idea what the actual data is, just saying what I remember based on knowing the world map) As everyone knows GMT, and everyone knows the world map, the issue is solved.
