SUMMARY

The guidelines for submitting solutions to the POTW clearly state that submissions are due by Sunday night at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time, prior to the Tuesday posting. A discrepancy was identified regarding the example date, which incorrectly indicated a submission deadline of April 6th, a Saturday, instead of the correct date of April 7th, 2019. The forum participants confirmed the need for an update to the guidelines to reflect this correction and ensure clarity for future submissions.

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?
