While incriminating myself for copying the question word for word, the exact text reads:

If the planned flight time between Archerfield YBAF (S2734 E15300) and Mackay YBMK (S2110 E14911)
is 140 min, the latest time you could plan to depart YBAF on May 27th is:

– 1. 270533 UTC
– 2. 270513 UTC
– 3. 270503 UTC
– 4. 270523 UTC
