Every day at noon a ship leaves Boston for London and another one leaves London for Boston. The travel takes exactly 7 days (168 hours) each way. John plans to travel to London next Sunday. How many ships coming from London will John see during his trip?

John will see 1 ship every 12 hours.  If the ship from London leaves at noon London time and the ship from Boston leaves at noon Boston time, then he will see 14 ships.
