About the time in Merriam
Sunrise today lands at 06:38 and sunset at 08:05 local time, giving 13h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.02, -94.69) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Merriam.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Merriam day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Merriam sits at latitude 39.02, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 26m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
