so malnpudl asked kind of an important question. and seeing how 1/3 of podmod is asleep, and 1/3 is watching lost or something, and i really ought to be focusing on updating the damn archive, i figured i would answer it, speaking for everyone! it's a kind of consensus. for very specific definitions of the term.

mal's question:
At what time on June 2nd will the contest officially end?

my our answer:
midnight in the last place to have a midnight in the world.

okay, this is all subject to revision on account of how the international dateline makes my head hurt, but as a handy reference:

the amplificathon is over at midnight on june 2. the midnight that we are counting as the final possible midnight is the one in american samoa, since there seemed to be one more time zone, but i couldn't find any land there on the map, and i kind of doubt anyone is posting from a ship. (please correct me if you are on a ship and plan to post from GMT-13. or whatever it is.)



when it is midnight june 2 (when the day is about to turn into june 3) in samoa, it is:

11 pm june 3 at the south pole
8 pm june 3 in japan
7 pm june 3 in hong kong
3 pm june 3 in dubai
2 pm june 3 in athens (the one in greece, not georgia)
1 pm june 3 in berlin
noon june 3 in the uk
7 am june 3 us eastern
6 am june 3 us central
5 am june 3 us mountain
4 am june 3 us pacific
1 am june 3 in hawaii

there you go. times are adjusted for places that daylight savings applies.
