Question 1 asks for a DR position and that time is 0922 GMT on 12 May 1996. After question 3 "we decide to alter course" to 111d (also true). After question 5 "The wind shifts...the current shown..." and the COMPASS course becomes 106d. I've gone through Leg 12 without finding any significant differences to the official answers.
