savings time a mystery

[biggerbirdbrain]

O guru of things electronic:

Did early daylight savings time in US affect puzzle loads? I didn't know if it was my computer or whose, but the game did not begin today (Sunday, 3/11, evening, US time) as usual. Will this continue for the next three weeks, then?

The new daily puzzles appear at midnight UTC, more familiarly known as Greenwich Mean Time. This is not affected by daylight saving. So, B-B-B, the games will appear an hour later, by your clock, right through until you come off daylight saving.

Looked at another way, every daily puzzle lasts for 24 hours, regardless of any local adjustments to clocks.

Once again, it is now clear.

Oh yes, I did notice the advance from "newbie" to "neophyte" -- We've been promoted!

Hi, me again..
this is twice in 5 minutes..[sounds familiar!!!!!]
Living in the UK our clocks change twice a year, in spring and autumn. At this time of the year i only have to wait till midnight for the new game, but come the start of 'official' summer it's 1am, and addict that i am, i often do. No wonder they think i'm a vampire at work! It's another good reason for campaigning against the changes. I apologise to all who are affected by our GMT, we hate it too!
