    Hell yeah! I still do that on road trips to pass the time. Keeps things a bit interesting.

      Here’s another one, I didn’t have a watch and only had a flip phone back in college, too. I got pretty good at estimating the time based on shadows thrown by poles or trees and north. I joked (and won one bet, at least) that I could tell the time to within a 10 minutes increments. I mean, that’s not super challenging, now that I think about it again, due to the hourly schedule you’re already on at college. But, hey, it’s one of those goofy and ridiculous things you joke with your friends about.

        That’s pretty cool. Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
