Mystery Class
 
Eating on the Equinox 2008
Who's Having Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Right Now?
Imagine...it's the spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's sunrise in Greenwich, England. The image below shows where the sun is shining at that moment and where it is not. Some of your Mystery Classes are eating breakfast while others are waiting for dinner. Some are about to wake up while others are about to go to sleep. Using the clues below, can you put the 10 Mystery Class smiley faces in order from east to west?

Sunlight on Earth at 6 am Greenwich Mean Time

Can you put us in order, from east to west ?

"Please bring my breakfast," says Smiley #8. "I need my fuel for school."

"Our local sunrise came a little bit earlier" says says Smiley #5. "So I already ate breakfast a little bit earlier!"

Some of us have been awake even longer than Smileys #8 and #5, including Smileys #2,#6, #9, #1, (in order of who has been awake, from the shortest to the longest time).

"Our next meal will be dinner in just a few hours", says Smiley #1." The same will be true for Smiley #9 just an hour or so later. "We're looking forward to lunch in a few hours" says Smiley #6. "We will have lunch next after Smiley #6 is done", says Smiley #2.

Meanwhile, "stop talking about food, and please be quiet! We are still tucked in bed and have several more hours of sleep" say Smileys #4, #7, #10, and #3. "We'll get up in that order because that's the same order in which we went to bed."
