And when the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away

I thought you might mean that. The list of place could help. We need a poll. Out of the 228 places, where are our WP Inhabitants?

I was going to ask: what about the people who can't make up their minds what timezone they're in?
But the poll seems to have been removed for some reason

I posted some polls, not for all the places, just over half, because Poland and the UK are going to celebrate before North and South America. Regardless, Cornflake had to remove them because breaking it into lists of 20 places at a time categorized them as SPAM.
I'm not going to dwell on it because I'll get paranoid that they offended someone. I was concerned about my wording of the subjects.
I'll move on to something else.
I have dishes to clean.
Looking at the list, I'm pretty sure Poland may have been first, but only because I don't know who is East of Poland.
The problem is, I'm going to continue to think how I can get around this. Not sneak anything by Cornflake, but how to work within the restrictions and limitations of the boundaries. That's what I use to do for a living. Challenges. I only have two days though.

I was wondering if it would be easier to do it with timezones

That is exactly the direction I'm thinking. There are 14 time zones that are bound to be the first. I think I can list the zones in the body of the message, and the corresponding places attached to those zones. Not everyone wants their location known, but not everyone will respond. I'm still moving things around in my head. The notion I was thinking isn't exact. There may be something in the STATS topic that as some of this information, although collecting it would be a challenge and be outdated. Brain thrashing ahead!

I know it won't be the exact same but it's probably the best you can do in this circumstance
