Rumata- you've got a great idea which isn't that complex to solve, just like you wrote about above.
My guess is you could determine, very, very roughly, longitude by the time of sunset or twilight. Granted, it would be a very rough figure but you might be able to make a pretty good approximation. Maybe +/- 5° ?? And then you could further narrow the figure to a more precise longitude figure.
Good idea you have!
