Yo Ho!,

I'd be willing to trade you my "Personal Trader Morts Mug "( as seen below), but not for a Red Paper Clip.

If you can figure out a way to add 1 extra hour to each day, for the the rest of my life , 25 not 24, it's yours!!

Ok Ben, you've got a couple of options....

a) Go west young man.

"When you’re traveling westwards, you have extra time you need to absorb, and the body’s natural mechanism is better at absorbing extra time. This was most clearly demonstrated to me on a wonderful trans-Atlantic cruise on the QE2 from Britain to the US. It was a five day and five night cruise , and we crossed five time zones, so each day was 25 hours instead of 24."

If you do all of your work on a boat heading west for the rest of your life - you're set!

b) Have a civil day.

"The Civil Day is commonly considered to be of 24 hours. But in many places in the more-or-less Temperate Zones, the Day is annually once of 23 hours (at the start of Summer Time) and once of 25 hours (finish of Summer Time)"

c) Convert and work from sunset to dark.

"The writings of the text of the Bible from the time of Moses, show that the day was understood to begin at evening and as we have seen, Atonement was kept from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32), being when the sun has set and it is dark or EENT. Jews presently keep from sunset to dark when they end the fast. Thus, there are approximately 25 hours in that day."

You have my address and don't forget to use lots of bubble wrap.
