Seems to me we've got a contradiction in the ruleset - one rule says that
the Ballot comes out at least 48 hours before the end of Voting (Rule 23,
The Ballot), the other says that Voting ends at the end of the last day of
the nweek (Rule 15, Nweekly Voting).

Since the r15 and r23 have equal Chutzpahs, r33, Chutzpah, dictates that r15
should take precedence, and thus voting closes at the end of nday 10. Sorry
if that causes a problem for anyone, but that's what the rules say. :(
