If I leave Washington at 0900 on the 5 march for New Zealand an 18 hour trip but New Zealand is 17 hours behind Washington. What day and time do I arrive in New Zealand?

New Zealand certainly isn't 17 hours behind Washington (State or D.C.). Assuming your question is hypothetical ("if" New Zealand is 17 hours behind "Washington"), leaving on 9:00, 5th March on an 18 hour trip, you would arrive in New Zealand at 10:00 the same day (local time)/3:00 "Washington" time.Switching to reality, on 5th March (when the US does not yet have "Daylight Saving", and New Zealand does), Washington D.C.'s -5 UTC/Washington's -8 UTC and New Zealand's +13 UTC puts New Zealand 18 and 21 hours ahead, respectively.Thus, an 18 hour trip leaving at 9:00 local time, would see you arriving 21:00 NZ time the next day (6th March -- that's presuming D.C., given that would give the closest travel time to your suggestion).


What was the official count of participants in March On Washington DC on Sept 12 2009?

There is no "official" count of crowds anymore. Too many lawsuites by different sides claiming more or fewer than the National Park Service would announce.For this march a wide range of crowd estimates was suggested for the event, with most media sourcing the Public Information Officer of the D.C. Fire Department who unofficially estimated the attendance "in excess of 75,000" people.[1][18][17][19] The D.C. Fire Department later released a statement that the crowd estimation attributed to them was false, stating that an early estimation of 60,000 was for a specific area, Freedom Plaza, not the total number of participants in the event. Event organizer FreedomWorks suggested between 600,000 to 800,000 participants while National Taxpayers Union said 200,000 to 300,000
