When the gap changes

Today India is 3½ hours ahead of Berlin.

  • October 25Berlin moves its clocks back and the gap becomes 4½ hours.
  • March 28, 2027Berlin moves its clocks forward and the gap becomes 3½ hours.

Only Berlin changes its clocks for summer; India keeps the same time all year. A meeting fixed in India moves by an hour in Berlin's calendar twice a year.

Making it work

The shared window is the morning in Berlin and four and a half hours long, so it is worth protecting. Put recurring calls inside it and move anything that only one side needs outside it.

Offer two or three times within the window rather than one. Someone always has a clash, and a poll with three options settles in a day where a single proposal starts a thread.
