I can't verify this for Afghanistan specifically, but many countries and localities that get to choose what their local time is have often compromised on the time due to the shape and size of the location (in this case, Afghanistan). Since the country has an elongated shape and is adjacent to several other countries that have various other time zones it is possible that the time Afghanistan chose was a compromise between two times in order to keep the entire nation on the same time.
The other options have proven to be politically messy, caused some problems in business transactions and caused confusion for the citizenry. So a compromise between say, GMT+4 or GMT+5 Afghanistan is in the middle or GMT+4.5.
Yes. No, it is not. Some places (ie: Nepal) have a 15 minute time difference. . Kabul, Afghanistan is in a half hour time zone and there are others in Australia and in India.
none because the time difference is 30 minutes not an hour
Depending on whether or not Daylight Saving Time is in effect in the U.S., it's either 10:34 AM Eastern Daylight Saving Time or 9:34 AM Eastern Standard Time.
SHORT ANSWER: 10.5 hours later in Afghanistan; 11.5 later if DST applied (fall). CAVEAT: The time difference depends upon application of daylight savings time ("DST"). Afghanistan has never and does not use DST, however, countries/states in "Central" may apply DST. Here's a fast way to tell the difference using your computer's clock. Open the clock settings and change your time zone from central (presumably "(GMT-06:00) Central Time US & Canada") to Afghanistan (or whatever local). Kabul is listed in my available time zones and reads:"(GMT+04:30) Kabul." If you note the time after applying that change, then change your zone back to the appropriate one for your actual local, then subtract the difference on a 12-hour clock and you have your answer. This method should automatically take into account changes related to DST if you have selected for the computer's clock to automatically adjust for same.
Subtract 4.5 hours from local time in afghanistan which is the difference from gmt(zulu)time and thats your zulu time in afghanistan.

Oh, dude, 15 percent of an hour is like 9 minutes. So, if you're trying to figure out how much time you wasted watching cat videos instead of being productive for that hour, it's about 9 minutes. But hey, who's counting, right?
1 quarter equals 15 minutes so there are 4 quarters in an hour there are 15 minutes left until the hour
