Forum information, requests, and feedback. • [Suggestion] Registration question 'how to easily tell accurate time' - sundial?

Hi, just registered successfully after a couple of retries, I love the registration antibot and antifeline checks :)
However, as a humble suggestion for we ultra-literal-minded folk -
That last drag n drop feature at bottom of registration page "How to easily tell accurate time?" stumped me for the first two attempts,
I thought - surely no-one can tell accurate time easily with a sundial - at night time?
But according to the rules of forum registration, apparently one CAN easily tell accurate time with a Sundial... at any time, night or day, or in full shadow of buildings, hedges or trees, etc :)
Please forgive my tongue-in-cheek dig at that rule - it was just nagging at my sense of reason.

If 'Sundial' cannot be removed for future forumers, could it perhaps be tweaked to "Sundial-in-daylight" ?

Sadly my own home sundial is purely aesthetic & non-functional - it is for northern hemisphere (I am in Australia), and there is an annoying giant norfolk pine tree in neighbour's yard blocking it for (most of) the morning, my own 2-storey house for the middle of the day, and a large hedge in the afternoon...
I haven't been out too frequently at night to see how the moon fares in comparison, but it is not a moondial after all :)

Seriously though,
Thank you, it is great to be finally registered so I can see full posts here!

-Morte.
