Any watch can stop - mechanical and quartz, and electronic. And it is not always possible to navigate by the heavenly bodies, and even then only approximately. So, how can you find out more precisely what time it is?
Necessary
- - telephone;
- - computer or communicator;
- - internet connection;
- - radio or television.
Instructions
Step 1
Call the local time service in your city. The information will be provided to you by the answering machine. The service is free and available around the clock. The telephone number of this service can be found in the telephone directory. You can also call this number from your mobile phone. In this case, the connection will be charged according to your tariff plan.
Step 2
Make a call to someone you know (if you don't have a telephone service or don't want to go there). Apologize, briefly explain your situation and ask what time it is. If you behave correctly, your friend will be happy to give you information free of charge. The disadvantage of this method is that the information obtained is often approximate. In addition, it is undesirable to ask such questions at night. Awakened people tend to exaggerate in rage, and friendship can end.
Step 3
Establish an internet connection. Go to any site that shows the exact time. On such sites, you can find out the current time not only in your area, but also in any other city. To do this, just enter the name of the settlement you are interested in in the request field.
Step 4
Turn on the radio. Most radio stations regularly inform their listeners about the current time with varying degrees of accuracy. If you are not satisfied with the accuracy of the selected station, switch to another wave.
Step 5
Turn on your TV. Television screensavers showing the exact time usually precede news broadcasts. But there are also TV channels that show informers with the exact current time all the time. Look for them on the air.
Step 6
Leave the apartment on the street and ask what time it is now, from one of the passers-by. Become extremely polite and friendly. When you receive an answer, thank the person. The information may or may not be accurate.
Step 7
Go to the home of someone you know and find out the current time from them if you have not met passers-by or are simply afraid to talk to strangers. This method is safe at times of day suitable for visits. At night, such an appeal can end in disaster. The awakened person will probably tell you the current time, but very approximately. At the same time, the possibility of using brute physical force is not excluded.
