More free time is the option on offer
in this week's 'Would You Rather?' dilemma.

In a few days time on 28th July 2017 the nation gets to celebrate National 4pm Finish Day!  Seriously, I'm not making it up, that's actually a real day.  Presumably invented by a lazy person.

Anyway, to celebrate National 4pm Finish Day, this week's 'Would You Rather?' dilemma has a similar related theme.  The dilemma is this...

'Would you rather finish work one hour earlier every Friday, or would you rather start work one hour later every Monday?'

Both options would be very appealing, but if you could only choose one, which option would you choose?


National 4pm Finish Day is sponsored by Red Bull, so presumably that means Red Bull will reimburse all employers for loss of wages so that everyone can go home early!

Legal Disclaimer: Please note, the above assumption has not been verified. Just because it's National 4pm Finish Day, that doesn't mean you can just walk out of your job at 4pm without your boss's approval.  All finish times are subject to your usual contractual agreement with your employer, unless agreed otherwise. Please check with your employer so see if they have an agreement in place with Red Bull before going home early.

...or that each Earth year lasted for 730 days?

Long days or long years?

And just to clarify, I don't mean some government dude or dudette makes an administrative change to how we divide periods of time from now on.  I mean you've been granted the cosmic ability to alter the velocity and momentum of the Earth as it travels through the solar system, causing it to rotate more slowly on its axis or to spin more slowly around the Sun.

So you either opt for long days lasting 48 hours with long nights to go with them, or you opt for long years lasting 730 days with the resulting long summers and long winters.  Or if you live in a tropical part of the world where you don't get summer and winter, then obviously you'd get long dry seasons and long wet seasons.

So which would you go for?  Longer days or longer years?
