If it is 9:23 a.m. in S.F. and S.F. is 8 hours behind London, then what time is it London?
It is 5:23 p.m. in London, and it is still Sept. 30.
Now, Alice Springs is 9 hours ahead of London. Another way of thinking of this is London is 9 hours behind Alice Springs.
That means it is 2:23 a.m. and Oct. 1 in Alice Springs.
