Hello,
In the guidelines for submitting the solutions to the POTW, it is stated that every POTW will be posted on Tuesday.The period for submitting a solution is Sunday night at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time of that week. For example, if a POTW is set to be posted on Tuesday, April 2nd and the deadline for submitting a solution is Sunday, April 6th at 11:59pm EST.

But April 6tn will be saturday. Sunday will be 7th April. isn't it?
