Written test help

Gentleman and ladies. I am in the throws of studying for an upcoming interview. I came across these two questions or similar ones which appear on the written test. I want to make sure I have the concept/answers correct, any help, input, websites would be greatly appreciated.

1. XYZ field elevation = 34' OAT = 36C QNH = 1002 What is the density height?

PH= elevation + (1013- QNH) x30 34+(1013-1002) x 30= -296
DH= (temp-ISA) x 120+ PH 36-15 = 21x120= 2520 - 296= 2224'

DH = 2224

2. at high noon in Sydney (150 degrees E long) the sun is at its highest point. What time is it in Sydney when the sun is at its highest point in London.

I came up with 2200. Long= 4mins 150x4=600mins (10hrs)

To be sure, I wouldn't want to be working for a company that would ask me a stupefying question as:

"...at high noon in Sydney (150 degrees E long) the sun is at its highest point. What time is it in Sydney when the sun is at its highest point in London.".

At this time of the morning (excuse the pun) I agree with 2.) since the earth rotates at 15 degrees per hour. Will look at 1.) later.
