Question

A very rich, very shady international banker (with residences all over the globe, including Bayonne, New Jersey) mysteriously disappears. Someone later mails a wide-angle photo of his body to a London newspaper, taken on June 22, showing the Sun exactly overhead at noon. What can the police deduce from this photograph about where on Earth the body is located?

A. at the North Pole
B. at the equator
C. on the Antarctic circle (67° S)
D. at the South pole
E. on the Tropic of Cancer (23° N)

Answer 1

B. at the equator

Step-by-step explanation:

• The photo that is taken by the wide-angle photo of the body to London newspaper and taken on the 22 June and shows the sun is directly overhead at the noon

• Thus the photograph is directly taken over the equator and thus the police can deduce from the photographs that the body's located directly overhead in the tropics on the surface of the earth.
