    1) June 21st....24hrs.... north pole
    2) maybe Dec 21st as a second option in southern hemisphere
    3) trick question... Everyday is 24hrs or Oct when clocks go back you might get a 25hr day?

    And as a bonus question which is the only country in the world to have a modern firearm (ak47) in their flag?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
