Read the six sentences and track the two offsets and local meeting times on the same day.

The idea

Levent’s calendar says 14:00 at UTC+2. Maya’s location uses UTC+3 on that day, one hour ahead, so the same meeting is at 15:00 for Maya. The story states the offsets; it does not assume a city’s seasonal clock rules.

Read the text

Levent ve Maya çevrim içi görüşme planladı. Levent'in takviminde saat 14.00 ve UTC+2 yazıyordu. Maya'nın bulunduğu yer aynı gün UTC+3 kullanıyordu. Bu yüzden Maya için saat 15.00 olacaktı. İkisi de kendi takvimine doğru saati yazdı. Görüşme öncesi saati mesajla tekrar doğruladılar.
