Since on the chart she is after time "Z" and before her local midnight, she adds one day, making it December 14th. It's 8:10PM, so she examines the chart, finding that the 8 O'Clock spot on the PM (outer) ring reads "D", so her ammZ code for the present time is D10Z, or 04:10 UTC. Alice sees that she's under US Pacific Standard Time, which is UTC-08:00, so she brings up the conversion chart for Zone Hotel. Suppose Alice is at the University of Washington at Seattle, WA, (where foldit is based) and it's December 13th. Note that for the purposes of table lookup UTC+13:00 is the same as UTC-11:00, UTC-14:00 is the same as UTC+10:00, and so on. If it's afternoon and the analog "little hand" is pointing as it would for 4PM and the little hand is pointing as it would for 35 minutes past the hour, the ammZ code would be P35Z, 16:35 UTC and so on.įolders in time zones with exact hour offsets from UTC can find their offset and load their proper conversion chart from the following table:Ĭonversion chart by time zone - UTC offset For example, if the hands show midnight, that's Z00Z, which is equivalent to 0000Z, 00:00 UTC, 12AM Z, 12AM Zulu and so on. Should you be looking at the hands of an analog clock set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a four character "Zulu" time ammZ can be directly read from the chart. , W) placed on an analog clock face with the AM letters in an inner ring, the PM letters in an outer ring. The Zone Zulu chart has the 24 single letter hour aliases (Z, A, B. The letters will sometimes be expanded to their equivalent Nato Phonetic Alphabet telephony codes: Zulu, Alfa, Bravo, Charlie. , 22, 23 we will use 24 letters as follows: Z, A, B, C. Besides the twenty-four hour clock hours 00, 01. The charts are be based on Hour Aliases, a series of aliases (synonyms) for the twenty four hours 12AM, 1AM. 4 Note on time zones with part hour offsets. ![]()
