The difference in posting rates was 5.43/day.

The difference in posts was 183.

Assuming the rates stay the same (very unlikely) and that posts are presented in fractional parts on a per-second basis (also unlikely), it will be 33.70165746 days; 808.839779 hours; 48530.38674 minutes; 2911823.204 seconds.

For the ease of calculation, 11:05 = 665/1440ths of a day, or .4618055556

There are 30 days in April. Given the time of day that LJ recorded his values and the fractional day-part required for the posts to synch, it will be in the 34th day that they meet. 8+34 = 42, 42 - 30 = 12th of May (a Wednesday).

This still leaves us with 33.70165746 + .4618055556 - 34, or .16346302 days.

0.16346302 days = 3 hours, 55 minutes, 23.2 seconds.

So, all things being perfect, the post counts will be equal at 3:55.23 on May 12th.
