me that it
could be of NO consequence!
The analemmatic is an azimuth dial. If your shadow does not reach the
numerals then "walk your shadow" until it does!
In other words, turn to directly face the direction of your shadow and
walk in that direction.
Of course the problem is how to instruct someone about how to do this.
Some ideas might be:
Keep stepping on your shadow
Your shadow leads you to the time
Follow (or chase) your shadow to the time
Those who do it correctly should all get the same time. It might lead
some kids to doing strange and interesting things and good questions
about what their shadow does.
