it varies greatly... some weeks (during the school year) I get no hamework, (so 0) and some weeks I get lots of homework (so maybe about 2 hours a week when right after I get home I check the important stuff)

but this all will probably change (probably go up) becouse this year I go to Northstar Academy (an online school)

The poll says week, but the choices seem to imply day. Which is it supposed to be?

I believe it's the daily rate averaged over a week - but that's not taking into account the 200 minute limit per day (and asusming no multi-accounts) - Are we to include other Cantr OOC related activities such as the forums , wiki , irc etc?

Then again 200 minutes a day over a week is 23 hours and 20 mins a week so the poll could be referring to a weeks playing
We probably need some clarification here.

Oh well back to work :wink:

1/2 hour a day or so on the forums when at work.

I spend 1 minute more than it's worth.

I meant hours playing cantr over the week, hence a maximum of 24 hours (200 minutes x 7 rounded up)

The reason is, logic would sugguest that cantr is busier at weekends as its a game and something done in our spare time (who gets that anymore) and yet its frequently more quiet at weekends..

Talapus if you can play 24 hours a day you are seriously abusing staff priveledges... :lol:

Not sure exactly what "timewastong" means. My cantr time varies from zero minutes per day to a couple hours, but usually isn't much. I can't check cantr from work, so I rarely play on the weekdays, at least not before 6pm.

Zero. Cantr is blocked at my school.

An online school? wow I'd like to know more on that.

I didn't have any computer courses this year so I havn't gone on cantr during school time, but I have when I'm at home supposed to be studying, I think cantr was the downfall of my french mark. I dropped like 6 percent :( Oh well, schools over and I'm happy :)

I don't work with computers, but I don't really do much work, either.
