Hyeflyer Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 I often wonder how many people still have a grasp on simple skills.My brother in law asked me how to make a sun dial?I then went on to explain to him how to do it using five objects and two dates.What are the five objects and the to dates of the calander year?

Sip Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Alright since no one wanted to admit, I'll ask ... what the heck is a sun dial? If it is what I think it is, then it went out of style many many years ago. Just kidding ... but I would be interested to know how you make it with 5 things (I would have to guess, I would say you probably need: 1. Computer, 2. Internet connection 3. Search Engine 4. Ability to send "how to make sun dial with 5 things" query to search engine 5. Following instruction provided by document returned by search engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyeflyer Posted May 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Yes the good old solar clock.On rainy day you didnt have to work because the clock was broke.Or you could tell your boss the alarm didnt go off and that is why you were late.:)Five wooden poles and the dates for the winter and summer solstice.
