We were here arund 3 o'clock and it worked holding one arm straight above your head. Really cool.
How it works:
If the sun shines on a person standing in the correct position amongst the date marking, his or her shadow will point to the correct time on the sundial. First find todays date in the figure eight calendar. Then, stand along the center of the figure eight aligned with that date marking. The date markers indicate the first day of each month, so, if the date is near the middle of the month, you will stand along the center of the figure eight aligned with a point halfway between the closest month marker. Stand straight and tall and raise one or both hands directly above your head. Find your shadow and notice where it is pointing amongst the hour markings.
Can you tell what time it is ?
