When are you checking in to Civ3.com? Remember, they are working on a US Time (Eight or more hours difference). So for you it may be the next day but it still may be the same day at civ3.com.

When it says you already have answered but you have not, try waiting eight to twelve hours and see if it works.

Just a thought. I don't really know but that may be why you are getting those messages.

Gramphos, does that mean you had been glued to the website until that time one morning (in order to find that out). Also I take it you recheck the site at 6:01 CET everyday.

I am pretty sure the change is 12:00 Midnight EST. I have come back to my dorm from activities and what not and the change has always been there. So I don't know what the difference is between EST and CET but I guess then it would be six hours.

	16-09-2001 14:54									#7
	Full PM-box? Change here!

EST = GMT -5hrs
CET = GMT +1hr

=> 6 hrs.

Guess you is right then.

Well, in the summer it is:

EST = GMT -4
CET = GMT +2

But that doesn't make much difference of course.

Well, it is amusing that for half the year Greenwich Mean Time is not the same as the time in Greenwich.

Or maybe EDT (Eastern Daylight(saving) Time), as opposed to EST (Eastern Standard Time)? Anyway, the US Eastcoast is GMT -4 in the summer.

BST (British Summer Time), which is what we are on from March 'til October, is GMT+1hr.

Though Apolyton, and Microsoft in general I think, doesn't recognise this.

Has the time wrap affected civ3.com?
It has not updated yet (I think), as it says that I already have answered today's question, and the subject is the same.

Perhaps the CivTrivia isn't daily. Well, Firaxis may try it keep daily, but maybe they don't have time every day to make a fancy question to their site. Or maybe the guy who takes care of CivTriv got sick, and couldn't make his magic.

Now, where is Dan to comment at this?

(Working hard to fix the problem so that the question will be up for 10 minutes before the change )

Think we had a little server hiccup last night, so the question didn't update. A new question is up now.

Normally Firaxis change the question at 6 a.m. FQCT (Firaxis question change time). For those who want to know what that is in GMT or CET, send an e-mail to "Ask the team"

Changes have been seen to occur at FSHT (Firaxis server hiccup time), which is a few hours later on both GMT and CET, but astonishingly the same time in CEST and BST.

Now since Firaxis normally go by EST or EDT, by what time (CET) will the next change occur?

Ok something is defintely up with the site.

I hadn't been to civtrivia for the last question, about "Make war", yet when I went just now (first time in 48 hours) to answer a question about "Name that city" it told me I had answered it already. Did I get it right by any chance?

That eliminates the clock theory then doesn't it?
