Put your analysis skills to the test.
What time is it in the photo?
Netizens solve the CIA riddle
One Twitter user took to the comment section and thorougly explained the answer. Giving points, the Twitter user wrote, "1) There is only one active car on the road, signifying that it is early in the morning and many people are not commuting yet. 2) The school bus is dropping students off, not picking them up. If the bus had been picking students up, there would be a plethora of students......outside waiting to board them. However, since there are no identifiable students we can infer it it must be the start of the school day. 3) The ski lifts are not being used. If it were 11 AM or 3 PM, they would be in either full or partial use. 4) The cars by the stores have snow on top, signifying they may have been left overnight". The person further wrote, "While some claim the sun is too high at this point in time, there is a darker hue to this photo which may also point to the fact that it was taken in the morning before the sun would have reached its peak altitude". Tweeples are also Retweeting the image with their own caption.

The cars in the parking lot have snow on hoods. Long shadows. Nobody’s skiing yet. Only 1 car on the road. No pedestrians. My initial guess was, midnight in 1 of those climes where the sun’s up all year round in winter. Second best guess wd be early as possible in the morning.

I may be the only one who said 11am........ I have my reasons. Funny thing is my reasons are the same as everyone else's, but I am looking at it differently, I think. The elevation changes, the location of the sun given the season and/or location, etc...

7:00 am is a bit early for the schools to open

School busses indicate it's mostly likely either 7am or 3pm, (although early dismissal could be 11am). The tire marks on the roads indicate some, but not much traffic. The sun angle looks a little low, and the street lights (many times automated) are on. Makes me think 7 AM.

7 am. Street lights on. School buses arriving. Cars mostly parked in front of houses with snow on them.
