all right the first is to find longitude with the sun:
it has 3 needels:
1 that rotates with the sun, every 24 hours, a basic clock :)
i that aims north, a compass
and one that the user aims to the sun
all right the needel clock shows 12 gmt
you set the device aiming north by putting the compass nedel in its right position
and you aim the third needle to the sun
lets suppose it shows 1100, the third needle i mean
well you know youre one hour offset from gm or 0 longitude
i dont rememebr would be one hour be 15º or 20º?
well the 2nd gauge if this doesnt get locked so plz dont report :)

how far are you from completion of this time-travelling device?

does anybody knopw?
if not im one it
but oh so many things to do and so litle time, 4 hour of work a day and 11 of sleep doesnt let me enough time for all i want to do :(

Dont worry, release it, you have come to the right community.

basically its a combination of a sundial with a mechanical sundial(yes thats waht a clock actually is a miniplanetarium)
the difference between both in minutes its the difference in minutes of longitude :)
oh the misterious and evasive longitude in hour hands thanks to the discoverer of the meachanical clock

4 hrs work, 11 hrs sleep . lol, what a wonderfull life/work balance, you must be still at school or a student.
Wanna swap ? I get 11 hrs work, 6 hrs sleep, plus travel a chores,
But I have to tell you I know your problem, I am surprised noone has told you this before.
You are a native of planet zargon 5, due to its orbit and rotational rate Zargon 5 has a 34 hr day, and a 186 day year, this is why you dont find enough time in an earth day, 24 hrs is just not enough to fit your natural cycle.
As a native Zargonian you have a different life cycle and expectancy that may appear strange to mere earthlings.
You will mature a lot more slowly, you can expect to remain living "at home" or "in the nest" until you are 35-40 earth years old, this is perfectly normal for a Zargonian
As a Zargonian on your native planet, sexual maturity is triggered by the flowering of the Bluyzvert plant and the subsiquent release of hormones by this plants pollen, without the presence of this plant you may never sexually mature, however this is not certain especially if you happen to be an Earth/ Zargonian hybrid breed.
The benefits of a thwarted maturity are obvious, no time expended on those complex intricate Zargonian mating rituals , more time to devote on esoteric complex original thought.
As a Zargonian you may have found that you have some superior natural attributes that set you apart from mere earthlings, my advice is do not flaunt these advantages earthlings tend to get jelous and resent these gifts.
I hope this information has helped you to understand any issues that you may be having.
So as they say on Zargon 5, "Mjglsit haws jastiv zyglabish flem ytrarish yarg".

whoarmonger....
although your post is utterly cruel, I can't help finding it funny. As a general explanation to anybody who is beyond themselves this is hilarious.
I'm afraid, however, it won't have any effect on raaaid though, he'll sleep it off :)
I think raaaids personality much resembles albert einstein, just without the advanced physics :)

haha thats hiularious do i give away so much info on the net :)
well the second gauge is a sextant in which instead of artificial horizont you have a line connected to a clock that wouls show sun altitude in the equator(once adjusted longitude with the other device)
so you take the sextant take the sun to the line look and you have latitude with minutes exactlitud
now if the war had really been that important whay they didnt make these things?
