Originally posted by GinaC OMG! Do you mean that people actually SLEEP instead of posting?! Ugh! I just don't believe it!
Here are recent numbers to demonstrate what I am talking about
:
yesterday, 8pm EDT, midnight UTC the count was 5383
this morning, 7am EDT, 11am UTC the count was 4883
this afternoon, 1pm EDT, 5pm UTC the count was 4113.
So, while the Western Hemisphere was sleeping the count moved 5383 - 4883 = 500 in 11 hours = ~45/hr
Since the Western Hemisphere has reawakened the count has moved 4883 - 4113 = 770 in 6 hours = ~128/hr
