Just a guess, but it looks like that spike happened about the same time the servers were down for the construction outage. The spike may be from all the clients sending in their results all at once, thus giving the appearance of an increased number, instead of spread over 2 days.

I thought about that and wondered why it didn't show up. But (and I am guessing again) the shut down didn't happen until late at night (if I remember correctly) if that is the case then the first day probably wouldn't show a down spike. The second day should probably show a down spike, though. Why is it not? good question. Jim > Then, wouldn't you see a down-spike on the day just before the spike? > > ID: 71422 ·
