Problem:
One absentminded ancient philosopher forgot to wind up his only clock in
the house. He had no radio, TV, telephone, internet, or any other means
for telling time. So he traveled on foot to his friend’s place few miles down
the straight desert road. He stayed at his friend’s house for the night and
when he came back home, he knew how to set his clock.
How did he know?
