Win a home - Shadow in photo

[koster]

How can I work out where the shadow of the telegraph pole would be in this photograph?

�60 a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bloody hell.

My guess will be just below the kerb of the house (not the road kerb) running to the left of the photo.

It will be roughly towards you and to the right, but there is not enough information to be worth risking �60!

Look where every other shadow is falling

i "guessed" at 268 x 297 spot
but would not risk �60 quid
not even �6 might have a go at 60p
if you go with my guess we could share (lol) i could give you �30 after we had won!
I wish!

The shadow of the lamp shows that the sun is to the front of and to the left of the house, and it's quite a long shadow. It's not clear whether the shadow of a bit of the tree on the wall comes from the bit that's just visible at the top of the picture. If you think it is, draw a line joining the two, and then a parallel line from the top of the pole to whereever it hits a surface.

Another look at the shadows from the corner of the eaves and from the lamp suggests that the shadow from the top of the pole is likely to be in the 483 x 204 region, or possibly even hidden by the tree.
Two things to bear in mind :-
1. Can you trust the organisers?
2. If all 25,000 entries are taken, that's one and a half million pounds in their pocket.
