I can't provide any mathematical explanation of my "17 hours" comment yesterday, since about 27 hours now remain until 11:59pm Thursday, Sept. 30, PDT. If you want to throw your hat in the ring, go for it.

Julie, since you say "pm", I'm assuming that you're not using the 24-hour clock. By my calculation that means that we Brits have until just before 8am on Friday.
Am I right?

Pacific Daylight Time is Universal Time Coordinated minus 7 hours. British Summer Time is Universal Time Coordinated plus 1 hour. So you're 8 hours ahead of me.
Another slight complication is that the timestamp at Eratosphere is a bit off. Right now it's 7:19 am in my time zone, but Eratosphere will timestamp this as...well, you see.
Gotcher cinquain, though!

Well, well - that means that Universal Time Coordinated is the same as Greenwich Mean Time. Who knew?
The cinquain was indeed a race against the clock, but I had one, set to PDT, counting down on my computer and it was worth it to make Seree laugh.
And there've been a lot of laughs in this unexpected event. Bless you for setting it up and doing all the gruntwork. Much appreciated.
