General Navigation USCG Question #1504 (Set 47)

It is 1200 local time for an observer at 54°E longitude. Which statement is TRUE?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — The observer is in time zone -4.

Dividing longitude 54°E by 15 degrees per time zone yields 3.6 hours, placing the location in the -4 time zone. Greenwich time would be 0800, making it morning, not afternoon.
