Something here just doesn't still sit right?

I was wrong with my timings the last time, but this clearly isn't quite straight yet...

U.S Naval Observatory says:
Quote:
The times of various events, particularly astronomical and weather phenomena, are often given in "Universal Time" (abbreviated UT) which is sometimes referred to, now colloquially, as "Greenwich Mean Time" (abbreviated GMT). The two terms are often used loosely to refer to time kept on the Greenwich meridian (longitude zero), five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.
But then there is the issue of Daylight savings...

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone-summer.htm Check here current timings.

So Eastern Daylight Savings time is indeed -4GMT (UT) right now. The Great Britain is +1 GMT and we here in Finland are +3 GMT.

That would mean that the deadline is:

6PM Eastern
11PM Great Britain
01AM Finland


Correct me if I'm wrong this time too...

PS. 01AM here is quite right with me. 12AM would be better, but in a close game I could sacrifice one hour of sleep for a good participation in the game...
