Chapter 23, Problem 10LR

Imagine that you are on a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere between London, England, and New York, New York. Fortunately, you managed to save your globe. You were most recently in London, so your watch is still set for London time. It is noon, solar time, at your location, but your watch indicates that it is 4 P.M. in London. Are you closer to London or to New York City? Explain how you arrived at your answer.
