Description
- So, what does it say?- … midnight.
- Mhm. And according to the hourglass, and some calculations, what is it really?
- … well, it should be about 3 in the afternoon.
- Yep… and looking at the sky, does it look like 3?
- … it looks like midnight.
- Exactly… now, I can tell you right now, that your estimation of 3 is correct.
- But but…
- Ok, I’ll cut to the chase… how many hours has the sun been up today?
- … six.
- Correct. And what does the sundial need in order to work?
- Why, the sun of course!
- So, if the sun takes six hours to traverse the sky, what will happen?
- …
- Want to tell me again what a shame it is that no one up here seems to know exactly what time it is? That it is unprofessional, and lazy?
