Does the gap change?

Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Lagos and San Diego don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 2 PM in San Diego, which is 3 PM to 10 PM in Lagos, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
