Thanks for the help all!

I think I understand now, but in fact my example was wrong: if I Lodi is killed ay 6pm on a Monday and skips his first two windows, it seems like his third window should actually be: 9:00 PM (Wednesday) - 3:00 AM (Thursday).

It's all broken down here for future reference: http://wiki.project1999.com/Variance

P.S.

Yes, but the statistics of him spawning in the first or last 30mins well...
It seems to me the spawns should be concentrated in the middle of the window after skips occur.

Think of it this way: if Lodi is killed at 6pm on a Monday and skips two windows, the only way he could possibly spawn at 9:00 PM Wednesday is if he "spawned" (but not really) at exactly 11:000 AM Tuesday, and then exactly 4:00 AM Wednesday.

But if he spawns at midnight Wednesday, there's many other ways that could happen (eg. he could have spawned at 11:00 AM Tuesday, then 6:00 PM Wednesday, or, 12:00 AM Tuesday then 6:00 PM Wednesday, or ...)

Since there's more possible non-spawn "spawn times" that can lead to times in the middle of the window, it seems like he should be more likely to spawn then.
