Mnemonic

Professor X is in the basement of the house, where he is being confined. He is not permitted to leave until the sundial in the middle of the basement indicates that it is noon. The problem is that there is no sun, so the sundial does not work at all. He tries to explain to the person blocking the door that he has a permit to leave since it should be noon, but his words bounce off their head with no effect.
