Best time for a meeting between Chicago and Sydney
Sydney is currently 15 hours ahead of Chicago. Right now it's 6:39 PM in Chicago and 9:39 AM in Sydney. With standard 9-to-5 working days, the two cities have no overlapping working hours, so someone will need to flex — the fairest option is to split the difference.
Fair compromise slot
5:00 AM in Chicago = 8:00 PM in Sydney
This lands just outside 9-to-5 for both cities and shares the inconvenience evenly. Rotate who takes the early or late slot to keep it fair.
