SO here's the deal... whatever is to happen when the clock stops, WON'T have anything to do with MTV!

Why? because our clocks all point to a single specific time that will happen together, REGARDLESS of timezone.

The MTV special plays:

North America
Thursday, May 12, at 9:30 P.M. Eastern (21:30)
8:30 P.M. Central (20:30)
9:30 P.M. Pacific (21:30)

That's not in parallel to each other... it's not synchronized... it's respective to the timezone... therefore those on the eastcoast will see the show 3 hours ahead of me.


What this shows is that the clock isn't counting down to a time 1 hour before the airing of the show...
it's counting down to a specific moment in time, and won't have any bearing on TV at all.

Yes, I believe you are correct. I think many of us were expecting this event to be live originally, so 8:30 EST would have been 5:30 PST. But since it is taped, they are making you wait until 9:30 PST, even though we will already have see it on the east coast. But the clock is counting down to 8:30 pm EST no matter where you are - so whatever happens then, it will happen for us all at the exact same moment.

i think its still a possibility that the clock stops an hour b4 the first airing because thats when the final challenge is posted and we have an hour to solve it.

My clock says 30:00:37. And my system clock is right.

So it's counting down 30 days from 8:30 May 12?
