    10am for you (PST). If you go to the PrimeGrid homepage, they have a countdown to the start of the challenge, if that helps...

    At the risk of overstating this, the clock on the PrimeGrid homepage displays time according to the clock on your own computer. So, if the time on your computer is fast, the time displayed on their homepage will be fast and you may accidentally start too soon. Or, you may start too late. To soon would be worse because you don't get credit for the work you download early.

    Make sure you sync your clock with some type of time server. I always start a minute late to be on the safe side.
