Answer:
How to Tell Time Using the Big Dipper
Step 1: Find the Big Dipper and use it to locate the North Star.
Step 2: Imagine the north star is at the dead center of a clock. Draw an imaginary line that runs from it to the outside stars in the Big Dipper.
Step 3: Imagine the line you drew as the hour hand. Now picture that hand moving counter-clockwise as if it were on a 24-hour clock. If the hour hand is pointing straight up it indicates time is midnight.
Step 4: Use the imaginary hour hand to approximate a time as if the clock were real. You must enter the time you came up with into an equation. Figure out how many months it's been since March 6 of your current year. Then, take the month count and multiply it by 2. Subtract that total from the time you guessed. To reiterate, this is the equation: Time - 2 (months) = Real-Time.
