Lab Caches - When is the deadline to enter code?

[+res2100]

I got an unexpected surprise this week when a friend created a lab cache for me. I haven't gone to find it yet but I am wondering how much time I have to find it. According to the FAQ, I have to find it by end of day Feb 28.

 

How long do I have to create or find a personal geocache?

 

For I <3 Geocaching Lab Caches, creators and finders will have until midnight on February 28th (your local time) to create or or enter the correct find code and receive or give a smiley to someone.

 

However when I go to the lab cache itself, it says I have 2 days and 10 hrs left to do it which puts it at Sunday March 2nd, 7am.

 

Has the time been extended to March 2nd? If so I would wait until March 1st to go find it as it's more convenient for me, but I don't want to miss out if it does in fact expire on Feb 28th like the FAQ says.

 

Hoping someone from Groundspeak can give an answer.

I'd say you've got until then. I don't know what your timezone is, but it's possible they've just added in an extra day to allow for all timezones, plus an anti-disappointment margin.

 

Edit - is that midnight on the 1st of March in GMT?

I am in Eastern Time Zone, so that would be 12 noon GMT Sunday March 2nd
