A puzzle

[lost_in_space]

On any given Saturday when the lotto numbers are drawn, make a note of the winning numbers. Take them with you. Also take a radio transmitter.

Head to any pole, doesn't matter which, North or South. Place a hand on the pole (that is conveniently sticking out of the snow) and circumnavigate in the appropriate direction to cross the international date line enough times to get back to Friday. You should only need a radius of 1 arms length from the pole, so you don't have to walk far when you get there.

When you get back to Friday use the transmitter to tell a friend (or yourself because you haven't left yet) what the winning numbers are.

Cash in and share!

I'd book a ticket to the south pole straight away but I can see 3 problems rearing their ugly heads .......1...What if the stick/pole isn't there....2....What if I get flat batteries in my transmitter.....& 3.....I couldn't possibly talk to myself on the transmitter in case I'm in bed asleep, god help me if I wake me up, I know what I'm like, grumpy as hell & more than likely I would tell myself to go jump & cut the transmission!!

Why not just build a time machine & go to the future to get the winning numbers...sounds a lot easier, don't you think?
