Hi everybody, recently I've been doing lots of CF contests to prep for USACO silver

However contests always seem to be at Moscow Time 17:35

For a Chinese like me, contests are at 22:35 to usually about 1:00. This wasn't that much of a problem when it was summer break, but now school's about to start, and I just want to ask why is this?

I've also seen some contests being hosted at 17:00(+8) and people were happy the times were fitting for China for the Chinese New Year contest(iirc), also seen some contests hosted at 20:35(2 hrs earlier), and I would like to ask why is this?

I do understand that most of the people on this website are from Russia and the United States, and 17:35 is after-evening time and for US its early morning, but I would like to ask to consider for global students.

I'm not necessarily complaining but just wondering why so many contests are locked at that time, I do think people have asked this before but yeah.

thanks!
