People in my Econ class PWNzed by daylight savings

[Syringer]

So in our econ class we have online quizzes that is supposed to end Sunday night right before midnight, however there was a problem with daylights saving times last week which made it end an hour early..and while our prof thought it was fixed it came back this week to haunt them.

Luckily I did it earlier this evening.

Here's a glimpse of our discussion board..

He probably mentioned it because they might not have daylight savings in Asia, and this would be why foreign exchange students wouldn't be prepared for it.

But the way he worded the post it seems like the computer system was messing up and not the students...

Notice all the times of the posts are before midnight so it seems that they can't login because the server still thinks of the time difference.
