Hi folks! I couldn't get onto FunTrivia at all today so I didn't get a chance to give my name as an answer to a question.

I think your secret is out about you being a naturist Gnomon if the following is anything to go by: - In summer the sun is higher in the sky and Gnomon ball's shadow falls lower on the sundial, while in winter the sun is lower and the shadow falls higher. http://www.phys.washington.edu/Department/tour/sundial/
