Answer
Step-by-step explanation: The statement indicates that the flight began at 12 noon on Thursday, Athens time and that it lasted 25 hours. So, you can calculate the Athens time when he arrived after 25 hours which would be 1 pm on Friday. Also, the statement says that Irene's grandfather arrived in Sydney at 10 pm on Friday and now we know that at that moment it was 1 pm on Friday, Athens time. From these, you can calculate the difference between 1 pm and 10 pm that would be 9 hours. Because of this, the answer is that the time difference between Athens and Sydney is that Athens time is 9 hours behind Sydney time.
