The Game of Troy sounds like good fun - but where shall we get the horses from? 
I guess that one of the remaining chapters of the Codex will tell us more about how exactly to dance Ariadne's dance. It's fascinating to see how old this tradition indeed is, and that it appears to be still intact and alive!
Once we have found out how to dance, all we need to know is the exact hour of sunset in Crete. There are several tool that could be used for calculating that hour, like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html . A town on Crete - Khaniá - can be found on the list of locations. I wonder, however, whether there`s a possibility to calculate the sunset for Knossos or at least Heraklion/Iraklio. Khaniá ist far more west than those two.
On 1 August, the sunset time for Khaniá would be 20:27 (time zone: UTC+3h, daylight saving time!).
Should be 13:27 Eastern Daylight Time or 10:27 Pacific Daylight Time.
Our friends in Japan are likely to have a problem then - they will have to get up and dance right in the middle of the night (2:27 a.m. Japan Standard Time).
