Hi All,
>Imagine, If someone has his birthday on Saturday during JARTS Contest
>weekend, say he turned 50th on Saturday.
I am born on 16 October 1956 around 02:00 local time (00:00Z) !
Had to make a choice...
1) had passed 48 last year (my official birthday was on saturday! no problem...)
2) giving 48 saturday and 49 on sunday would have been extremely confusing for
everybody, generating a high UBN %
So I advanced my birthdate by a couple of minutes; rules do not say that you
cannot lie on your age !
Hope I won't be disqualified for this !
By the way another amazing consequence is that I will send again 49 next year !
(contest on 14/15 October !)- For ever young !
Don't trust too much your "call-history" lookup...
Age graphical stats for the contest are on my blog

Hi
Maybe the same problem also in SCC.
May I consider probability to be 0.005479? <-- 48hr / 365ds * 24hr
