Puzzle deadline
Have the clocks changed in GK's home town? I logged on at 7:15 GMT this morning (the puzzle deadline isn't normally until 8am GMT), to find I'd missed my opportunity to complete yesterday's puzzle!

Daylight saving time apparently

GK has subscribers from all over the world. It would make more sense to subscribe to a consistent standard such as GMT. Or at the very least, let people know it's about to happen. Most of the world actually lives outside the United States...

The deadline has always been on GK's clock, which is situated in California. You're probably right that it would be nice to have a reminder near the countdown page of an impending daylight saving's time.

I missed it for this reason too, I had a look previously, but it was a tough one, and didn't have a lot of time. Rather than just guess, I wanted to have another look when I got up in the morning. Oh well. I think I'd have got it too with 10 minutes or so, I could see the general theme. Perhaps a warning would be nice, but then again, it happens twice a year I assume, well 4 if you count our time changes, but we're aware of that one!
