Scheduling across Amsterdam and Cairns
Scheduling between Amsterdam and Cairns is hard. Their standard business hours do not overlap on the same day, but the two working days meet at a single point: Cairns's close at 17:00 coincides exactly with Amsterdam's open at 09:00. A call timed to that boundary catches both sides at the edge of their day.
