10 hours? Nah not even close.
You'll get one of those :BangHead: moments when you know the answer  :happygrin:

Hint: What hour did Pilate finally sentence Jesus to death?

[WhiteWings]

Last supper was in the evening.
He was arrested later that evening. At around 23:00
During the night Annas and Casiphas interogate Him.

^ACVMark 15
1 And straightaway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scholars and the whole council, having made a plan, after binding Jesus, they took him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

==> The  Sanhedrin meets at dawn. 06:00 (1st hour)

Jesus stands before Pilate.
Pilate sent Him to Herod.
Herod sends Him back to Pilate.
During that time questioning a whipping took place.
The voting or Jesus or Barnabas.
Finally:

^ACVJohn 19
13 When Pilate therefore heard this word, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king!
15 But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.

Pilate judges Him to death at 12:00 (6th hour)

^ACVMark 15
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

His crucifixtion was about 09:00 (3rd hour)
Was Jesus crucified before standing before Pilate?
Guess not. So my timeline is:

Nisan 13:
18:10 - Last supper starts. (Estimate, but after 18:00 because it was evening)
20:00 - Praying in the garden starts. (Estimate)
23:00 - Arrested
Questioned by Annas and Casiphas.
06:10 -  ??:?? Sanhedrin
- Pilate
- Herod
- 12:00 Pilate sentences Jesus to death.

Nisan 14:
09:00 - Crucifixion

Assuming Jesus was arrested at 23:00, how many hours later He was crucified? (not asking for an accuracy of a a few minutes...)

My answer is 34 hours.
