Dear All,

I was sent the attached instruction sheet for changing time on various
kinds of equipment.  For a sundial, the advice is "Move one house to the
right".

The sundial could have been better drawn; some kind of equatorial might
have been a better choice.  Moving one house to the right would work if you
live so close to the north pole that this takes you into the next time zone
15 degrees to the east.

The advice for an oven clock suggests you need a masters degree in
electrical engineering.  I have a Ph.D. in electrical engineering but
failed completely when attempting to change the clock on an oven.  I
managed to set the timer to cook for an hour but changing the main clock
defeated me.
