Start / End Strategy
This event is 10 stages x 24 hours each. The first stage will start the time you start it, the last stage will end 10 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is straight forward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if you don't complete stage 01 the first day, you can continue the following day. The next stage 02, will unlock at midnight the following day, stage 03 the following day at midnight and so on , until stage 10, this will unlock at midnight 10 day later, but stage 10 will not complete until 240 hours have elapsed.

For example:

View the first column of the reckoner below, if Start Thu @ 7:30 PM the event will end 11 days later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM

This will give Saturday and Sunday to complete stage 10.

You need to choose the best time for you to start The 500 event, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

The 7:30 PM, time above is an example, this will give 41.5 hours to complete stage 10. You could start any time of the day, you could start as soon as stage 01 is unlocked at midnight, say you start at 00:01, you will have 24 hour + 1 minute to complete day 10, or if you are a night owl, you could start stage 01 @ 23:30 and have 47.5 hours! It's your choice.
