Riki is right on here. We went through this when coming up with
the rules for the Stew Perry contest and it was obvious the only
way to make it fair throughout the world was to make it a multiple
of 24 hours.
However, even with this, as long as the multipliers are structured
the way they are - anyone too far from the US has a significant
disadvantage.
