Walt, when was the cut off? I just got off of work and am setting up my shot.
Cut off for submissions is 0000UTC Jan. 11, which was 2 hours and 49 minutes ago from the time of this post

Oh, well... Not that I'm challenging the decision not to include my post but... When using a 24-hour clock 00:00 is the start of the new day, 23:59 is the end of the day.
Wikipedia said:
I think you mean to say the cut-off time was 10 January, 23:59UTC.

Paul, it is 0000 UTC time for both the start and stop times. That is why the Date is the same for starting of one week and ending of the previous week. At least that is how it has been since before I ever was drafted into the Challenge Team. It is UTC or GMT time if you prefer. That way everyone starts and stops at the same time. We, the Challenge Team have tried to make it clear in the rules that are posted each week. Don't feel like the lone ranger. I missed a few weeks back by one or two minutes. That's the way it goes.
Walt, I don't know what 0000UTC means ??? I live in Mountain Standard Time. I knew I would be learning new things this year
Well Wendy, 0000 UTC is the same as 0000 GMT, but for you and me who live in mountain standard time, 0000 UTC means 5:00 p.m. the day before the cutoff date posted. IOW 0000 UTC Jan. 11 equals 5:00 p.m. Jan. 10 MST (That will change when you go on Daylight Savings Time)
UTC means Universal Time Coordinated or Universal Coordinated time. It is the time at the international date line. GMT, which is the same as UTC, but means Greenwich Mean Time
Really confused now? Ha! Google it.
