The day Los Angeles went quiet

Before you see the hours

On Saturday 24 September, Los Angeles logged 95 requests instead of the usual 3,638. The next day was the busiest Sunday of the year. Write your explanation for BOTH.

Do not change this once you have written it. Being wrong here is the point — it is what makes the next part mean something.

  1. What was actually measured, and when was it recorded?

  2. What did the hourly chart show that the daily one could not?

  3. Name a number in your own life that records when something was entered, not when it happened.

How I know

Point at the chart. Which part of it makes your answer true?

After the reveal

Look at what you wrote at the top. Did it survive? If it did not, what did you assume that turned out not to be true?
