It reads to me more like they want everywhere to do it at 10:30am on sun morning, so you get a wave that starts from GMT+12 and ends at GMT-12, over a 24hr period, to wave farewell; rather than everyone at the same instant in time. It's a pretty cool idea!Originally Posted by Cleve

Sunday night. We're 12 hours ahead, so 1030 06/11/11 in Valencia is 2230 06/11/11 in Auckland. And, yeah, I think Bogan's read it right — they're wanting a 24hr "wave" of throttle revs, so Sunday 1030am local time it is. My neighbours are gonna love me...
