Guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 The Earth as it spins on an axis is fact, what style I have depends on just that.

Quite scientific and really simple combined, usually flat on ground is me you will find. Latitude and horizontal I will need those too, if for the correct answer I will give to you.

0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 The time zones? Just to get it out of the way, cause of the 15 per hour verse. I will think of something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way your thinking, on the right track. Not the answer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Was going to say a sundial (shadow as "companion") but FRAMM 18 got there first. Oh, well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framm was quick on this one. The part of the sundial that casts a shadow is called a "Style" needs to point "True North" It's companion is The Sun. Reads the time for only Daylight Hours of course. Really good job Framm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it was a good riddle . I probably wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't for you saying that archlordbr was on the right track and it was the only thing that I could think of that fit with the clues that wasn't compass.
