I'll guess March 11th, 2015 at 4 am (4:00:00)

p.s. At any point before the contest closes, does anyone tally up the dates to show which are taken (which were taken twice) and which dates/times remain open?

It'd be nice to see the layout of the months, and maybe days w/ heavy hourly guesses could be marked brightly, also you could click on the individual dates/times that are still open for the pool...

Thanks!

No, all I do is check the total number of members and when we get to within 300-400 of the target (310k) I start pulling all the guesses from this thread that is within those few days, or close to. It will be a very time-consuming task to mark all the slots that are still open for guesses
