What if it were "choose your starting time; count the next 24 hours of
operating time": twenty-four contiguous operating hours (with the clock
stopping if the operator takes a break >30 minutes), rather than 24
clock-hours after the selected start time.
It removes the problem of letting 48-hour participants pick and choose
their best, potentially non-contiguous 24 hours, it avoids the issue of
making it just an iron-butt half-contest, and leaves us with a side-event
for folks who like to sleep at night and/or have honey-dos that need to be
honey-done.
