But if I count back 24 hours then I will be looking at yesterday's time. I need the time now.

Erm Terminus, Yes i know, the biggest clue was probably in the thread "1000 posts help - 12 year anniversary" and Steiner's request for people to assist him in that regard. I didn't actually think he wanted to know the time anymore than I believed peanut brittle was used in the making of the atomic bomb.........

Anyway, Steiner, if you need to know, at the third stroke the time will be 06:51 hours beep beep beep

Good morning warspite1. You don't really want to know the historic uses of peanut brittle, I am sad.

I am confused about you saying it is 06:51 hours beep beep. I have 06:22 beep beep.

In order to define that moment on a time scale one had to quantify the rate at with those object travel. One object that could be used to quantify the change is one grain of sand. In my present location that grain of sand is affected by gravity and therefore moves at a certain speed unless it is affected by another force than gravity. And if I drop one grain of sand, that is only affected by gravity, after another at an even rate then that could be used as a method to measure the passing of the time. Therefore follows that the current time is a interval between two grain of sand falls.

In short. The current time is after a grain of sand falls.

Orm, that is very impressive(no sarcasm) and interesting.

But I have no sand. Any further suggestions?

Good one, had to think about it for a few seconds,

Then what do you have time for? Reading Stephen Ambrose's "Peanut Brittle-The Definitive Account"??

Fun fact:Peanut Brittle was discovered accidentally when an Egyptian, Paharoh(NO RELATION), was making Maḥshi ḥamām(pigeon stuffed with rice). Go figure.

Actually Ambrose missed that fact. It was written about extensively by Tacitus, in his little know classic "The Most Important Discoveries in History"!!

That creative attempt earns you 1 cup of peanut brittle. Please email warspite1 or Terminus your mailing address and they will send you what you deserve.
