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>.
