Is that actually the correct answer?

Disregarding daylight savings, there is 25hrs between them.  Once
daylight savings is taken into account there should be 24 or 26 hours
between them (southern/northern hemisphere respectively).

the whole DST thing falls apart when you deal with places that don't respect it... arizona (except the navajo nation), for instance....

it would be impossible to calculate the 'correct' answer without knowing the exact location...
