12 PM. Noon means 12 PM. Changing this isn't really an option.

More to the point:

Noon also means when the sun is highest in the sky. If everyone uses the same timezone, one of these two meanings must be broken. It makes more sense to keep the definition that doesn't have an alternative name (you can always call 12:00 12:00).

> Nine to five

No? If everyone's on the same time zone, the answer to this is different everywhere.
