As contributors are living in different parts of the world it is not clear exactly when a challenge needs to be submitted by (If living in a different time zone to home of the site)
ie I live in UK Time is now 1.05 am on 8th April 2004 (Time and date shown on Web Site is 7.57pm on 7th April 2004)

If a countdown clock was displayed from when there was say 24 hours remaining it would be a useful addition to the site.
What do you think?

At the bottom of the thread is the Server time that is the timekeeper for the deadline for the new people that don't know.

Hann't noticed that until was posting my suggestion. But still think a countdown would be useful.

Someone is two minutes off.

The countdown clock next to the challenge description is a fine idea. Thanks.

Ah, okay. I forgot about that! So PDT is for Spring & Summer and PST is for Fall & Winter? I think I am getting this. Sheeesh... you'd think I'd have learned this in school all those years ago!
