Scheduling across Lagos and Sydney
Scheduling between Lagos and Sydney is hard. Their standard business hours do not overlap on the same day, but the two working days meet at a single point: Sydney's close at 17:00 coincides exactly with Lagos's open at 08:00. A call timed to that boundary catches both sides at the edge of their day.
