That was cool the way you set that up.

Missed the midnight (local time) raffle, did I already miss another one this morning?

lmgtfy.com is most useful for chiding people who can't be bothered to look things up themselves - or, in this case, to show that Google can do maths and conversions

Probably - but still two more chances in this round.

I was reading a book after having done the dishes and happened to take a break and pick up the phone some ten minutes before the thread opened. I entered "Why not" and got in

A 0.3 % chance is better than none, I suppose.

Yep, missed the 6AM local one, got up too late.
Easy for me to check local, Google knows where I live so I put in the UTC time and it automatically gives me local time.

No question shall be left unanswered in this thread

But as I said, I also wanted to show that Google can provide answers to this kind of important problems, too. I use it for converting between units and for finding exchange rates, and sometimes even as a calculator.
