The Copenhagen-Charlottetown Time Venn Diagram

Peter Rukavina

Okay, I’m looking for a word that describes the portion of the day when it’s “regular business hours” in both Copenhagen and Charlottetown.

Copenhagen is GMT+1. Charlottetown is GMT-4. So when it’s 9:00 a.m. in Charlottetown, it’s 2:00 p.m. in Copenhagen. And when it’s 5:00 p.m. in Copenhagen it’s 12:00 Noon in Charlottetown.

In other words, there’s a 3 hour portion of each day — 9:00 a.m. to Noon in Charlottetown, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Copenhagen — when we’re both “at work.”

What is that overlapping part of the big “time Venn diagram” called?

I think the word is… how bloody nice of you to think of this.

If we hang out in the same “digital hood”, we need this “delta of business hours” concept to work with.

There: delta hours? Peak delta hours?
