50 percent? You are way off. I am willing to bet that 90 percent of people don’t know. I saw a little clip in one of my classes where they interviewed Harvard grads and only 1 out of 10 got it right.

And, honestly, to be fair, I think a lot of people learned it but have forgotten b/c it matters so little in one’s daily life. As my one friend said to me, “Who cares?”

Actually they took a real live poll and only 49% got it right. If you go out in a boat, hunt, fish, hike or camp, knowing a little about the sun and seasons can make all the difference. Matter of fact, if you broke down on a highway it could make all the difference knowing which way to walk... You can walk out in the woods locally for less than 200 yards and get totally lost unless ...

Why would anyone forget?

Being a fisherman, it's really important to know these things, unless you just want to sit outside.
