Explanation:

Step1: Match cities to time zones

Miami (Eastern), Boise (Mountain); San Francisco (Pacific), Denver (Mountain); New York (Eastern), Los Angeles (Pacific); Dallas (Central), Atlanta (Eastern); Seattle (Pacific), St. Louis (Central)

Step2: Calculate time differences (ET=CT+1, CT=MT+1, MT=PT+1)

1. Miami (6pm ET) → Boise: $6 - 1 = 5$ pm
2. San Francisco (10am PT) → Denver: $10 + 1 = 11$ am
3. New York (12:00am ET) → LA: $12 - 3 = 9$ pm (previous day)
4. Dallas (5:30pm CT) → Atlanta: $5:30 + 1 = 6:30$ pm
5. Seattle (11:45am PT) → St. Louis: $11:45 + 2 = 1:45$ pm

Step3: Solve Challenge 1

Depart Atlanta (3pm ET) → convert to PT: $3 - 3 = 12$ pm; add 6hr flight: $12 + 6 = 6$ pm

Step4: Solve Challenge 2

Depart Seattle (7am PT) → convert to ET: $7 + 3 = 10$ am; add 6hr flight: $10 + 6 = 4$ pm

Answer:

1. 5:00 pm
2. 11:00 am
3. 9:00 pm (previous day)
4. 6:30 pm
5. 1:45 pm
