Although many Europeans are at work and may not be on HN, I'd expect to see the most votes from Asia.

"Although many Europeans are at work and may not be on HN" Uhm, that's exactly why I'm on HN.

I would say the same thing.

UK and "Rest of Europe", got to love this point of view :-) You might as well go ahead and say "UK" and "Europe", wouldn't be too far off the mark.

I would say "UK" and "Continental Europe".

The timing of this poll is definitely going to throw off the results. It's nearly 2AM on the US West Coast, and most people are going to be asleep.

The timing isn't really the issue. As danmaz74 said, it needs to be on 24h.

If you would start it during the day in an US-timezone, other time zones would be underrepresented.
