Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Sydney Australia is UTC +10 hours. Right now (and until april 5, 2009) they are on daylight saving time +1 hour, so they are UTC + 11.

New York is UTC -5, but we are also in Daylight saving time, which is +1 hour, so NYC is UTC -4.

So, today, to go from NYC time to UTC time, add 4 hours. Today, to go from UTC to Sydney time add 11 hours. (yes, for a total of 15 hours)

You asked about midnight. Midnight (and noon) are neither AM or PM, midnight does not belong to a day. midnight is that instant between the days. That's why your automobile insurance policy expires at 12:01 am on a certain date.

In New York City, at 12:01 am on Friday morning of March 13, 2009 you could make a phone call to Sydney and it would be 15:01 or 3:01 pm on Friday afternoon on the same day, March 13, 2009.

And that "+15 hours" rule applies until 2 am local time on April 5th in Sydney. then it will be +14 hours.

On October 4, 2009 at 2 AM local, Sydney people set their clocks ahead (spring forward) so the offset will be +15 hours.

On November 1, 2009 (the first Sunday in November) at 2AM local, New York people set their clocks back an hour (fall back) so the offset will be +16 hours.

On March 14, 2010 (the second Sunday in March) at 2 AM local, New York clocks will be set ahead by an hour. So the offset will be the same as it is today, +15 hours.

Easy as 3.14159
