haha i'm so proud i worked it out.... like on my own with no google or any stuff, like seriously im soo good


check it 1 degree of longitude equals 4 minutes because it takes 24 hours for the world to spin 260 degrees, in 24 hours there are 1440 minutes, so divide 1440 by 360 and u get four, so four minutes to each degree Smile

haha not yet... cos i became a genious for another 10 minutes

According to time zones Gold Coast is two hours in front of Merredin. Merredin is 3400.37 km from Gold Coast so, 3400.37/111.2=30.57 so 30.57 times by 4 (as in 4 mins) = 122.31. so that means Merredin is two hours and 2 minutes behind the Gold Coast.

its the answer to question five
