ETA... I think I know the answer to this question, but since it's not September yet on *my* timezone - or Lee's.... I dont think I'm eligible yet.Originally Posted by Marianjela
I did a search for new members after 2008-July-31 and got 304
I did a search for new members after 2008-August-31 and got 4
I think maybe it has to do with GMT... some timezones are into the next day already.
OK guys, I have two TCS members standing right here by my side. They both agree nothing is wrong with my question and have both given me the correct answer. This is August. Still August here in Dallas and was still August when the question was posted. Also the question asks how many members have joined this month. So, reworded that would be, How many members have joined in the month of August. Not in July.Originally Posted by Marianjela

Lee, I think the confusion is because when you do the search for new members is says AFTER... so people assume that anything after July 31 would include Aug 1, but not July 31... but I think the search does include July 31.... which means the search has to be done one day later. Too bad the search option doesnt say "on or after". It kind of makes you assume the "on" part is not included.Originally Posted by Persi & Alley

Hint: Had I asked How many members have joined in the last month, the answer of 304 would have been correct.
I now expect the correct answer in minutes.
I would love to get on with the Kwery but am still waiting for an answer to the Kwiz. You have given the answer away but not answered it. All somebody has to do is answer it. Yes, the purpose of today's KatKwiz was to clear up a point about the operation of TCS. Since you have given away how to find the answer, I await the answer.Originally Posted by Marianjela

Anyway, I think I have the anwser - I suspect someone will be coming along with it soon. I'll wait for the Kwery
PS- my computer is running SUPER slow for some reason today. Aggravatingly so. But I plan on reading up on your guys meet-up yesterday, I seen the thread for it. I cant wait to hear all about it.
I think you hit the nail on the head. I know I assumed that when I put July 31st, the search would start on August 1st.Originally Posted by Marianjela

That is what today's KatKwiz is for, to clear this confusion up. AFTER July 31 is interpreted as after midnight on July 31 so specifying after July 31 in fact includes July 31. Bingo! OK, this contest is open to all players, even if you have already answered. First in wins.Originally Posted by Marianjela

Me too :shrugs: if I were to answer my first thought would've been 304. I guess that's what we're here for. I didnt realize that when it says "after" that day was included.Originally Posted by Catkiki
