The choice of a weekend discriminates unfairly against who must 
who work weekends (public service/public safety employees, some 
in transportation industries, many in retail, many in the 
entertainment industry, etc.) ... it also discriminates against 
those cultures for which the "weekend" is Friday/Saturday). 

Thus, in the sake of fairness, each contest should last a full 
week (168 hours) <G>.
