Dear all, Frans is so kind to show my solution in answer to my own question. But it does not work also, as I have observed in the meantime. The instruction "stand on the date" is not enough. Perhaps the instruction must be: "stand on the date with the midline between your feet" And yet I have my doubts. Maybe this helps: a bathroom weighting scale on a rail along the midline and the instruction on the scale, "slide the scale until the date and read your weight and time" This suggestion is just to initiate a brainstorming session.
