| Or: Immediately south of the equator and west of a time zone
boundary, facing south, between 11PM and midnight, Sat. July 1, local time.

| Dewtell, not facing south. But at any place there is a time zone change at the equator. Remember July is summer in the northern hemisphere, so you have to be facing north to go forwards and have summer. |

| Oops - you're right about the summer/winter
part, so you need to be facing north. But
in that case, you need to be at the International
Date Line for the left/right stuff to work.
So it looks like the original answer is unique after all.

| Yeah, the dateline probably isn't straight, but it still intersects with the equator somewhere.
Great teaser. Too easy, though. |
