A man is strolling past the mental hospital
A man is strolling past the mental hospital and suddenly remembers animportant meeting.Unfortunately, his watch has stopped, and he cannot tell if he is late or not.Then, he notices a patient similarly strolling about within the hospitalfence.Calling out to the patient, the man says, "Pardon me, sir, but do you have thetime?"The patient calls back, "One moment!" and throws himself upon the ground,pulling out a short stick as he does. He pushes the stick into the ground,and, pulling out a carpenter's level, assures himself that the stick isvertical.With a compass, the patient locates north and with a steel ruler, measures theprecise length of the shadow cast by the stick.Withdrawing a slide rule from his pocket, the patient calculates rapidly, thenswiftly packs up all his tools and turns back to the pedestrian, saying, "Itis now precisely 3:29 pm, provided today is August 16th, which I believe itis."The man can't help but be impressed by this demonstration, and sets his watchaccordingly.Before he leaves, he says to the patient, "That was really quite remarkable,but tell me, what do you do on a cloudy day, or at night, when the stick castsno shadow?" The patient holds up his wrist and says, "I suppose I'd just lookat my watch."
