You have disgraced yourselves,things known a millenia ago seem beyond
you and not even one has acknowledged the error.So be it.


Since I'm in the mood to rant, Gerald, and you have provided some
entertainment, here's a little quiz question for you if you'd care to
try it.

If you adjust the rate of a clock at mid-day to record 24 hours for each
360 degree rotation of the Earth, how many days pass before the Sun
rises at midnight?
It's all right, I'm not expecting an answer. Who am I to dim the
blinding light of your intellect with the mundane practicalities of
reality?

Denis


Noon is a precise geometric term,it is when a longitude meridian
rotates to face the Sun directly,this is kid's stuff and no offense
intended.

Come on Gerald! I'm not trying to be tricky, I just want you to try and
think outside your particular box.
I'll accept plus or minus 2 days, how's that? You understand the concept
of tolerances surely?
