Before the alarm clock

The game's question

Talk it over as a pair, with no hurry, then settle on one answer together.

Early in the morning, the light always comes in from the same side of the sky; in the evening, it leaves from the other side. Early risers never needed a clock to read it. True or not true: the sun rises in the east.

  • True
  • Not true
Need a hint?

Think of the first light on the bedroom curtains. Which room got the first sunshine in the house where your mum or dad grew up?

See the answer

Answer: True – it rises in the east and sets in the west.

Why this game : A sure, simple fact, and one that calls up the picture of a childhood bedroom at first light.
