I don't quite understand why the correct answer is "PT-1H" and not "PT1H".
The OffsetDateTime is "2017-06-02T06:00-05:00" and the ZonedDateTime is "2017-06-02T06:00-04:00".
I thought in order to calculate Duration.between, one has to count the time it takes to "get from the first to the second". If I want to go from -5 to -4 then I'd add +1. Or in other words, if clocks are one hour ahead due to summer time e.g. 2am instead of 1am, it seems more logical to me to add +1 to get from 1am to 2am.
EDIT: found an explanation here -> viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4237

Duration.between(date1, date2) does subtraction. In this case it means date1-date2 which is -5-(-4) = -5+4 = -1
