Not a trick question, but it does serve to bring up other questions about how the FE model works in relation to the time zones and daylight coverage during the summer equinox. Notice the dark spots on some time zones near the edge of the light spot. They are dark when they should be getting light at the summer equinox. Also notice the land masses opposite the spot, especially near the north pole. They are getting light when they shouldn't, at least in two of the pictures. This doesn't fit the observable effects of the summer equinox. FE model would need a non-circular spot light to make the observable effects work.
