Patrick racked his brain for who had invented the sun dial. Although he had some lingering questions about sun dials. He remembered something about a theo something or other. He couldn't remember the name, "Theo something or other created it. But I've got a question professor."

He paused for a second thinking over how he wanted to ask his question. He wasn't sure how to verbalize his thoughts. Taking a second, "During the winter wouldn't the sun have different markings based on how short the day is?" Or was he totally losing his mind?
