.

From the Las Vegas arrival local time, subtract the New York departure local time;

add the 3 hours of time difference between NY and LV;

then subtract 50 minutes of stopping in St Louis, that are not "the flight time".


I leave all details to you - you just have all necessary instructions.


You are instructed, explained and directed.


Happy calculations (!)
