Based on your last two posts I can now tell someone who is north of The Tropic of Cancer (23°26′13.2″ north of the Equator) how to find north on a sunny day with only a device to tell time. From sun up to just prior to noon stand with the sun on your right shoulder and where your eyes look is generally North. To find north from just afternoon to sunset stand so the sun is on your left shoulder and where you are looking is generally North. On a clear night finding north is also simple use a star chart to find the north star.

I have also figured out how a person can figure out which is their right hand with a simple image when viewed from their computer, tablet or smart phone. Or for those using the written pamphlet when taped to a wall.

Direction for use. Stand facing the image (that means to look at the image) your right hand is on the same side of your body as in the image.
