Solution

The correct answers are "Delay by 11 hours" and "Advance by 13 hours".

Here's why:

  1. Delay by 11 hours: Sydney is at UTC +10 and Santiago is at UTC -3. If you calculate the time difference directly, it's as if you're moving the clock back by 13 hours. However, our body clock can only delay (go back) by a maximum of 12 hours. So, instead of delaying by 13 hours, it's easier for the body clock to delay by 11 hours to the next day.

  2. Advance by 13 hours: Alternatively, the body clock can also adjust by advancing (moving forward) by 13 hours. This is because advancing by 13 hours to the next day in Sydney time would be the same as delaying by 11 hours to the current day in Santiago time.

So, both "Delay by 11 hours" and "Advance by 13 hours" are correct.
