I apologize for the confusion around EST/EDT.  It is too late to fix/change it.  Unfortunately those of us in north america almost always refer to the zones as PST/CST/EST/etc regardless of daylight savings.  It's a name for the time in the area year round, regardless of the technicality around DST.



I don't mean to be disrespectful, and I have no stake in this, but being in the US myself, I will categorically state that you are wrong here.

It's a common problem, but anybody with any knowledge about time, ESPECIALLY people in the computer/programming field, need to know that there's a HUGE difference between EST and EDT, and the time zone (Eastern Time Zone).



Like I said, I have ZERO stake in this, and so am just a potential arbiter, and you are wrong on this point.

People in computer programming don't deal with EST/EDT at all.  I do everything in UTC intentionally to avoid DST issues, that's how I messed up here.  Most seemed to get it, as the countdown clocks and UTC conversions I saw initially were accurate.

I should have just used UTC.  Lesson learned.

Looks like with orders totaling 17,778,808 the percentage ended up being 39.3727184%.

I'm almost done massaging the orders.  Users will see their altered orders up on the books soon.

Cheers.
