I'm getting it....finally!

I just had to remember to use the American date format, not the Australian one.

I took a guess before I even knew were to find the correct members count.. just found it and edited my guess. LOL Feel like I am a bit more on track now!

Thanks...I'll go find it.


For the future...
If anyone goes back and edits a post please tell me so I can go dig for it.

It won't make a difference for the contest but it will help me keep the Google sheet clean.

I always thought it was “oh” like “oh nine hundred” instead of “zero nine hundred” whoops

Maybe that’s if you’re not saying the hours part.

Also they really have to zero zero zero zero every time they mean midnight!? Dang that would get annoying though I don’t imagine they are saying midnight very often lol

And 10 hundred just sounds weird
