Best overlap: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Buenos Aires is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Anchorage.
Schedule calls for 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Buenos Aires — your colleagues in Anchorage will be online from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Around 4 hours of overlap is enough to work comfortably, as long as meetings don't drift to the end of one team's day. Because Anchorage and Buenos Aires don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
