Let the time between V and HK be x hours
15:05 + x - 13:36 = 16:30
1:30 + x = 16:30 , ----- (15:05-13:36 = 14:65-13:36 = 1:30 )
x = 15:00

so the time between Vancouver and HongKong is 15 hrs.

For the second leg, the plane took off from HK at
17:25 , --- (15:05+2:20 = 17:25)
which would have been 19:25 Sydney time

but the Sydney time was 02:45 the next day,
or 26:45 based on the previous day
length of last flight = 26:45 - 19:25 = 7:20

so the flight from HK to S took 7:20 hrs
How do I get 13:36 ?
