Estimation of Hour of Birth Based on the Hair Spiral Mark

The centre line of the head is defined as middle line between the two eyebrows across the head. See figure below. The head hair mark can be found at the top of the head posterior, which look like a centre where hairs are branches out. A normal person has one head hair mark but some people have more than one. From ancient book, hour of birth can be estimated by locating the position of the head hair mark.

Location of head hair mark at:	Possible hour of birth
Centre line	11pm - 1 am	5am - 7 am	11am - 1pm	5pm -7pm
Slightly off the centre line	3am - 5am	9am - 11am	3pm - 5pm	9pm - 11pm
Way off the centre line or more than one marks	1am - 3am	7am - 9am	1pm - 3pm	7pm - 9pm

Example: If Mr A. knows he was born in the morning between 3am - 10am. As his hair mark is exactly at the centre line, then hour of birth is estimated at 5am - 7am.
