On board a cargo ship, a seaman happily listens to his radio tuned in at a local station. The announcer gave the time to be 12:30 P.M. but the ship's chronometer indicated that it is already 6:30 P.M. At what longitude is the cargo ship? Providing solutions would be great.

How many degrees of longitude make up a time zone? The ship is 6 time zones west of the radio station assuming no one takes part in daylight savings time or any other factors.
