I would say 12:00 on Monday is the latest but have two questions..

Why not ask what time is the last acceptable.
Why not submit well in advance (now or maybe tomorrow morning).

This presumes the meeting isn't 19:30 today and you asked for advice too late. I can also see that they may want two completely free working days so making Fiday 12:00 the last time. If they didn't want the question then that is the interpretation they would apply.

Your question says you've 'submitted' a question, which I'd take to mean already..Is it a trick?

The deadline has been changed from 15 minutes prior all I ask is for an interpretation of the new deadline. yes I missed the deadline. Why should I want to trick anyone?

I meant a word-play trick. No intent to offend or be offensive.

Not offended just puzzled. But I really would be grateful of an opinion. :)

Your question has already been submitted you say, the meeting was yesterday at 19.30 so the deadline should have been Monday at noon.

I don't understand the question  ??? ok I'm a bit slow sometimes......
