    What time is it in Melbourne?

    “The Standard Time is 4:05. The time of day is equivalent to 14:15 in your location.”

    Wasn’t that hard to solve. And it’s actually more precise, since it incorporates the changing times of sunrise and sundown.

        oh so now we’re right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

        Pretty much. Shows how it wouldn’t actually help a lot. It’s making one thing simpler while making other things more complex. It’s interesting to think about new problems it would bring and how would they be dealt with. And how much worse the solutions would be than the current problems.
