Timely Shadow
As they de-code the riddle, Ben and Dustin realize the location is the Big Stone Chimney on the House, and that the reference to "timely shadow" must mean a specific time as measured by the Sun.
Independance Hall Painting
Timely Shadow
Ben suddenly remembers the painting of Independence Hall which appears on the back of the $100 bill; of course, Ben Franklin's picture is on the front. Looking through a water bottle to gain magnification, Ben looks at the time depicted on the clock; it is 2:22. Since the time was nearly 3:00pm, They moan that they had just missed the "timely shadow", but Dustin remembers that Daylight Savings Time was not initiated until World War I. Therefore, their current time was nearly 2:00pm. If they got to the top of the Independence Hall by 3:22pm, they could view the location of the "timely shadow".

At precisely 3:22pm
At precisely 3:22pm, Daylight Savings Time, they noted the exact location of the shadow which the Sun was casting on the ground adjacent to the Chimney.

the Glasses
Ben and Dustin immediately ran there and discovered that location which had a Masonic symbol in the upper right corner. it contained a set of specially created spectacles, with several lenses of various colors. The lenses moved up and down like the lenses found in eye doctors's offices today, so that a person could look at the document through clear glass, rose glass, or blue, or all colors at once.
