Question

There seems to be some confusion, so may I ask when Day 2 officially ended. Was it 3pm British Summer Time (BST), in which case Rune's post #285 was the last one before the deadline? Or was it 3pm GMT (4pm BST), in which case Nogrod's post #330 was the last one before the deadline? My understanding is that it should be the latter, which accords with the timing of the start of Day 2.

And, just to be sure, when will Day 3 start, 3pm BST or 3pm GMT?

Scrub that. I've checked and Day 2 began at 3pm BST (2pm GMT). However, Night 1 began at 4pm BST (3pm GMT), while Day 1 began at 3.30pm BST (2.30pm GMT)and ended at 4pm BST (3pm GMT).

So which is the correct deadline?

It should really be 4pm BST (3pm GMT), and will return to that when Volo gets back, but today I am going to have to start the Day at 3pm BST because I'm off to my friends to do revision.

I am sorry for all the mix-ups. Nogrod pointed that out to me yesterday as well. I just forget all about the whole daylight savings time thing.

Just to be clear. Day 3 will start at 3pm BST, which is 2pm GMT. So if anyone hasn't yet sent in a name (I'm about to check) please do so now.

EDIT: And to answer your actual question Sauce, Day 2 in my headed ended at 3pm BST (2pm GMT) but actually ended at 4pm BST (3pm GMT) after this was pointed out to me, so only Durelin's post was outside the time limit.

Thanks Kath! I'll take over from here. I still have to read through the stuff and look at your notes (if you have posted them in our gmail account). Hope everything is fine.

I haven't. I'll do that now but if you've any questions it will have to wait until a bit later I'm afraid. I just took a quick break but I'm back to the books in a minute.
