Actually, it is properly written as 00:00:00 (1 second after 23:59:59). |

April 1, 2012 00:00:00 (Just as the asteroid hits and the world goes "bang!".) More seriously, 12/04/2010 4:00 PM PST. |

I´m just wondering. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Based on the latest Technical news, 12/7/2010 is the earliest. I wonder what my RAC on PrimeGrid will look like by then? It's already much higher than I've ever seen on SETI. :-) |

31 WU's so far, first couple all ready returned. Getting even better, the queue now stands at 68 WU's and hopefully still growing. Seti has been given top priority. Kevin |

Based on the latest Technical news, 12/7/2010 is the earliest. I agree Pettit so my new guess is 12/8/2010 10:00 Berkeley time |

Rolling back a bit, this reminds of a question that seems appropriate to ask in this environment (with people that obviously correctly understand time): Why THE HELL do some people - in fact many - insist on the start of a day being @ 00:01?!?!?!?!?!?! WHY DON'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND NUMBERS????!?!?!?! |

You're all wrong. 00.00 is the exact point of transition between one day and the next - 00.00 is in neither day. There is no such thing as 24.00 - it is 00.00 and neither AM nor PM . (AM and PM is not shouting, just a correct way to write AM and PM) flaming balloons |

When writing about the 2 halves of a day, it is noted as AM/PM, however if actual time is stated then it is as follows: - 9:15am or 9:15pm If using the 24:00 hr clock, then AM/PM is not required. This is supposed to be a fun thread in guessing the full return of S@H with all guns blazing, not a platform for pedantics, so please keep posts on topic please..... Thank you. |

Twice every day there is a point in time, 0.00 and 12.00, when saying it is part of the following half of the day or the previous part of the day is both correct and wrong, but definitiely confusing. It's probably a mystery of our timekeeping that the aliens out there might want to hear about. It's also a very bad time to start a race or competition since it clearly creates confusion. flaming balloons |

What race? What competition? There happens to be many fun loving people on this forum who can't wait to get back crunching at full tilt.... ...& that is supposed to be the main point of these projects....have fun while at the same time, aiding science. as far as Im concerned, that's all that matters. |
