Maybe that is what you meant but I disagree. The statement in the ibox says:
(If you DO NOT POST A WAG at LEAST 72 hours or more before the EVENT HORIZON, you are disqualified!,)
I take that to mean it must be posted 72 hours before the event takes place. So the only way that I can see for Peggy Sue to win is if the event does not occur until after January 5th 9:26 PM, in other words, 72 hours after her post.
We may have to agree to disagree on this. :)
