We have available the sundial lock, which contains the question

"When must it be harvested?"

Edit: hint follows:

SPOILER: Click to show

time was not always numeric. Hours had different names through history.

If you love something, set it free. If it flies around and chirps, it was probably a bird.

And the Snowflake gives us a general season, but the tweet mentions the right time, place AND season...

I have kind of a weird idea:

SPOILER: Click to show

So the sundial doesn't have any clues to it beyond the sundial itself and the phrase inside. However, one of the other daytime locks is

SPOILER: Click to show

the sun, directly below the sundial. Since we know the position of the sun and the sundial is detailed enough to show us the lines, could we guess what time it would show?

The kids were right: the floor IS lava. But they were wrong about the fire-resistant properties of sofa pillows.

That's brilliant. Let's try this. Anyone know how to work a sundial?

It's to the right. And in my web view, it's below and to the left.

I may just be having a brain fart here, but which tweet are you referring to?

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought you meant that the tweet GAVE the right time, place, and season...

Hmmm... it just moved when I refreshed. I stand corrected. and now

The Moon

is to the left of it, if we are using K8's night harvest information...

The more I stare at the icon, the more I think it might just be a clever design. The spacing on the segments look a little too "design-ie", and you can't really tell what's going on around the back.

Further more, I can't really think of an hour-minute measurement that's only 5 letters. (ie. quarter past X, or 10 'til X)

Re-reading my last post jarred something in my head. What if the time is spelled out in roman? Like instead of 10:35, it's XXXXV or something similar?

That is how sundials are spaced: www.yardenvy.com/images/pz/13542/2520.jpg

And it's 5 characters like (guessing here) 115PM or TWO PM or SEVEN

I haven't yet. I'm thinking we won't be able to get this one using my idea yet because

SPOILER: Click to show

The sun icon might change position as more day locks are added

So we might have to wait for the issue.
