oh boy...
Please let me clear up the confusion....
First off let me apologize for not being here to take care of the last week of this contest - Hurrcane Sandy hit NYC and was supposed to be heading upstate - thank God we got lucky and only had minor effects here - NYC was not so lucky as 10 people died due to the storm.
Anyways back to the contest - Please understand - here we have both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time.
Technically it switches from EDT to EST in the beginning of November, so technically we are in EDT right now but in less than a week it will change back to EST
however It is common for people around here to refer to our timezone as "Eastern Standard Time" year round - we just change our clocks by an hour twice a year and don't think about it (especially since now everything is digital it switches the clocks automatically)
This contest has always been chosen by the block that was solved before 11:00:00 PM MY TIME which technically was EDT but for fun lets call it CFT or Cablepair's Fucked Up Time - since I fucked up.
as someone else pointed out - using the first three weeks as precedent you can tell we were using EDT or the newly created time zone CFT
now the last block to be mined before 11:00:00 PM EDT/CFT was:
