 * A good example is the time at a chariot stop. If it says 3 minutes 30 seconds, that is Teppy Time. So with the 110% rule, it would be 3 minutes 51 seconds real time.
-Why this complex system?  Why can’t Teppy Time always remain synchronized with real time? The answer is actually quite simple. ATITD is an international game, and to allow the greatest participation in all aspects of the game by the most number of people, time must vary. For example, without Teppy Time, it would likely always be the same time of day in Egypt during the real-life hours you like to play - which would make activities such as [[mushrooms|mushroom]] hunting quite difficult!

 Egypt Time is very simple, 1 Teppy Minute = 3 Egypt Minutes, so 1 Egypt Day = 8 Teppy Hours.

 *Each Egyptian year is exactly 360 days long (about 140 RL days), divided into three seasons: '''Akhet, Peret,''' and '''Shemu'''.
 ** [[Wheat]] can only be grown in its designated season (there are different varieties of wheat for each season).
-  In actual Egyptian history, the three seasons described the annual cycle of the Nile -- Akhet, or ''Inundation'', the time of flooding; Peret, or ''Emergence'', when the waters receded and crops were planted; and Shemu, or ''Harvest'', when crops were collected.  Since the Nile's flooding is not modeled in ATITD, seasons in the game are less important to daily existence.
