Does the gap change?

Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Sydney and São Paulo don't overlap. The most workable window is 5 PM to 10 PM in São Paulo, which is 7 AM to 12 PM in Sydney, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
