Do mean the 阳?

Bingo! You guys are good. Haha. I don't think I could have come up with 两点 part. My eyes just didn't see the : as anything significant. Well done!

Yeah, the 1:38 阳 is great! That would be an equally great solution, and is certainly thinking outside the box. As far as that being on the right track for the time, 阳 is on the right track for getting the time, but isn't the only part.

That's still not it! You guys are coming up with solutions that are just as good, if not better - and definitely as creative, as the solutions. Any specific questions about the time? I have some hints I want to give, but I don't want to spoil anything.

Just responded above, but here's a summary: You guys have the date, 十日十月 and the location, 东门 of 森林公园. Exact time is still up in the air. You're also right about it being between midnight and the next day. So, when they say 今晚, don't let that make you think that it can't occur after midnight. The 今晚 is a colloquial 晚上. 加油!

Xiaoyoulu is right about the 区 meaning the east gate of the park! However, 大家 is still off about the time. It's arguably the hardest part. Think outside the box! Great job though, btw. What a fun lesson...

Nope! The time isn't related to 区.

Hmm...some things are right on, a few are on the wrong track. If you want to know which ones, just let me know! Btw, I tried my darndest to figure it all out myself, but I ended up having a few things explained to me. Fun stuff though!

Do you want a hint about the time? :)

Actually, although 'alright' is so ubiquitous these days that it's quickly becoming the norm for this usage, it's still technically incorrect, and 'all right' remains the standard for most publications regardless of usage. There's a lot of discussion about it online, but here's one particularly helpful link: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/all-right-versus-alright.aspx
