Thank you for you answer.
C ould you please how it would be done if we change Dawson to be the same time as Tokyo?

Then you would just add 17hours to 6:00 so it would be 23:00pm Tokyo time when it is 6am in Dawson.

so tokyo time ie 23.00 (when it is 6.00 am in Dawson) needs to be compared against 4.00 pm ie. 16.00  
 
when we do that : 23.00 - 16.00 we get 7 hrs not the 17 hrs which you solved initially?
