First place - Drcruiser, only 9:42 away
Second place- Kacparov, 8:42 away
Third place - gambitsareok, 12 hours away
And of course Erik was right, but didn't specify the time.
edit: Did I get that right? I was using my own list, not Billium's official one. There might have been a guess that I missed or something.

You were close. You were right about the winner:
Without a doubt the winner was, DrCruiser - 9 hrs 42 mins
2nd place was indeed Kacparov but you subtracted and hour instead of adding it, so he was 10 hrs 42 mins off (not 8).
3rd place is ZankFrappa who so honestly corrected me when I entered his guess wrong somehow. He guessed 2:15pm so he was off by 11 hrs 27 mins.
Gambitsareok came in 4th place at an EXACT 12 hours, which means he guessed the EXACT time, but just got the am/pm wrong. That's pretty AWESOME!!!
And technically, it was January 20th where Erik was, but since we were dealing in GMT, it was actually on January 21st at 01:42 GMT.
