Title: Diet?
Post by alien2 on Oct 23^rd, 2023, 2:39pm

At noon and midnight I am short. At sunset and sunrise I am tall. Who/what am I?

I reckon Your answer fits, excepting the midnight part; not sure how a [Hide]shadow[/hide] can be longer/taller then, or be at all.

There are lateral thinking puzzles that can be solved if You pose questions like, [Hide]"Where?", or "When?" [/hide]; and in this case the latter could assist You.

I'd like to give you a [Hide]hand[/hide], but I think there's no need for that anymore.

Meh, the answer is probably silly (SPOILER): [Hide] the positions of the big hand (the minute hand) and the small hand (the hour hand) at 6:00, 18:00, 12:00 and 24:00.[/hide]
