20:45 HKT/13:45 GMT
This conversion is one hour off. 20:45 HKT equals 12:45 GMT, not 13:45 GMT.
Full reasoning
Hong Kong Observatory sources say Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Therefore 20:45 HKT converts to 12:45 GMT after subtracting 8 hours. The article’s 13:45 GMT is incorrect.

21:00 HKT/14:00 GMT
This GMT conversion is wrong by one hour. 21:00 HKT corresponds to 13:00 GMT, not 14:00 GMT.
Full reasoning
The Hong Kong Observatory explains that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Converting 21:00 HKT to GMT means subtracting 8 hours, yielding 13:00 GMT. The article’s 14:00 GMT is therefore incorrect.

21:30 HKT/14:30 GMT
This conversion is one hour late. 21:30 HKT is 13:30 GMT, not 14:30 GMT.
Full reasoning
Hong Kong Observatory sources state that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Subtracting 8 hours from 21:30 HKT gives 13:30 GMT. The article’s 14:30 GMT conversion is incorrect.

22:00 HKT/15:00 GMT
This GMT conversion is incorrect by one hour. 22:00 HKT converts to 14:00 GMT, not 15:00 GMT.
Full reasoning
The Hong Kong Observatory states that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Therefore 22:00 HKT equals 14:00 GMT after subtracting 8 hours. The article’s 15:00 GMT is one hour too late.

23:45 HKT/16:45 GMT
This GMT conversion is off by one hour. 23:45 HKT corresponds to 15:45 GMT, not 16:45 GMT.
Full reasoning
Hong Kong Observatory material says Hong Kong Time is 8 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Converting 23:45 HKT to GMT means subtracting 8 hours, which gives 15:45 GMT. The article’s 16:45 GMT is therefore incorrect.

23:59:00-23:59:48 HKT/16:59:00-16:59:48 GMT
This GMT range is one hour too late. 23:59:00–23:59:48 HKT converts to 15:59:00–15:59:48 GMT, not 16:59:00–16:59:48 GMT.
Full reasoning
The Hong Kong Observatory states that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. Subtracting 8 hours from 23:59:00–23:59:48 HKT yields 15:59:00–15:59:48 GMT. The article’s 16:59:00–16:59:48 GMT is therefore incorrect by one hour.

15:00 HKT/08:00 GMT
This GMT conversion is off by one hour. Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, so 15:00 HKT corresponds to 07:00 GMT, not 08:00 GMT.
Full reasoning
The Hong Kong Observatory states that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time and that Hong Kong Standard Time (HKT) = UTC+8. That means converting 15:00 HKT to GMT requires subtracting 8 hours, which gives 07:00 GMT. The article’s conversion to 08:00 GMT is therefore one hour too late.

16:30 HKT/09:30 GMT
This GMT conversion is off by one hour. 16:30 HKT is 08:30 GMT, because Hong Kong Time is GMT+8.
Full reasoning
According to the Hong Kong Observatory, Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and HKT is UTC+8. Subtracting 8 hours from 16:30 HKT gives 08:30 GMT. The article’s 09:30 GMT conversion is therefore incorrect by one hour.

17:30 HKT/10:30 GMT
This GMT conversion is one hour late. 17:30 HKT converts to 09:30 GMT, not 10:30 GMT.
Full reasoning
The Hong Kong Observatory explains that Hong Kong Time is 8 hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT equals UTC+8. Converting 17:30 HKT to GMT therefore means subtracting 8 hours, resulting in 09:30 GMT. The article’s 10:30 GMT is incorrect.

18:15 HKT/11:15 GMT
This conversion is off by one hour. 18:15 HKT equals 10:15 GMT, not 11:15 GMT.
Full reasoning
Hong Kong Observatory material says Hong Kong Time is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and that HKT = UTC+8. So 18:15 HKT minus 8 hours is 10:15 GMT. The article’s 11:15 GMT is therefore wrong by one hour.
