"Professor, the universal sundial invention is credited to Theodosius. He was a mathematician who made the dial that could be used anywhere on Earth," she explained. Hopefully Kennedy didn't need anything more specific than that, as that was all she had written down from her reading... Kalen nodded as Nettie spoke. “That is perfect Miss Gladin, you can take your sundial, and make a mark on the rock where the sun is hitting it now, and you can be done for today. ” He said with a grin before he turned to answer the next student.

Once inside, she said "Good morning Professor. I-I'm sorry I'm l-late."
She spotted her sundial and moved towards it, assuming they were out because they would be doing something with them during the day's session of the assignment.
Hanna heard the question as she made her way to a seat, and thought back to what she had read in her text book about sundials. It was a confusing thing because there were so many names, and so many different sundials, and thus so many creators. She had heard of Theodosius, as Nettie offered. There was another name that came to the top of Hanna's head, but she wasn't sure why. Raising her hand she said, "There was also uh... William Oughtred. I'm just not sure exactly what he invented." “No worries at all Miss Newton, this isn’t a formal lesson. ” He said with a grin as she spoke. “Not who I was looking for, but he did invent a type of sundial. ” He said with a nod. “Go make a mark on your sundial and you can head out as well. ” OOC: You all have eight days left to answer the question and make a mark on the sundial! |
