6) If our heading is 360 and there is a wind blowing from 090, can we expect to arrive at our next waypoint at the same time, or at a different time? Same time!

How do you figure that? The question is a little confusing. Is the heading of 360 corrected for the wind coming from 090? Or is it, we have a heading/track of 360 with no wind, and then there is the wind factor? If so then a crosswind will decrease groundspeed and increase leg time.
