Here's the link!
The first set of interdisciplinary clues has been posted. You might not want to read them if you want a chance to make guesses based on latitude & longitude first--we got as far as the clue for Class #3 and it gave away the answer! (Country, not city, though.) So we're holding off on the rest until we have a full set of guesses.

I peeked at clue #3 but we already knew approximately where it is. I sure hope to have time for the kids to research the sunrise times for our latitude guesses today or tomorrow.
Mystery class #3....11 hrs. 59 min.!!
What about #6?? What's going to happen on Monday? We can't wait to find out.

Mystery class #7: 11 hours 57 minutes (unless I'm still having subtraction problems)
I just read our clue - I'll have to really think about it as I didn't "get it" and we are already pretty sure we know where our location is. 
Also I have been looking for some weeks for a website like this - photoperiod calculator- and just found it. No one has posted anything like this so don't know if that means you know about it and kept it quiet or if it is new. But for those of you trying to find more exact latitudes associated with the photoperiod length - this is it. It's been a big help here at least to get fairly close - not sure it is "exact" though it looks to be close.

Geez Mary,
I saw a similar thing on one of the "sunrise-sunset" sites and it didn't even occur to me  (that was the closest emoticon I could find for smacking one's own head).
Denver's photoperiod is exactly 12 hrs. today....6:09-6:09

Which can't be "exactly" correct as it should still be a couple minutes short. That's why I was saying the calculator seems pretty close but not exact.
