13:36 December 31st Winter solstice? 21st or 22nd surely. 16:59 As you were! 25:25 Sorry Bob, all I can see is your laptop screen! It really was a juggling act to do this live, I admire your spirit because it is not an easy prospect. OK, I enjoyed that. You really made a rod for your back trying to explain such a complex instrument live, if you do any more I will make every effort to catch it live. Perhaps Mitchell would like to produce a nice armillary plane to show the many features of our solar system from the point of view of his flat planet (if he supplies the equations I would be more than willing to take a stab at making one).
@@ShamrockBanksObservatory I will watch it later - it is 01:35 here, and if I don't stop now, the next thing I know it will be gettimg light. I knew 31 was a slip of the tongue, especially since you set it correctly to the solstice around 17 mins.

Actually there is a more formal video on ‘slide rules and mathematics’. And yes 21/22
