# ok, assume that 101 days is the correct number. Let's add one hour

you might want to see the interval more fine grained by leaving out the rounding. That will show, that first figure is 101.45833333..., whereas the second figure without rounding is 101.5 and is thus rounded up. By the way, some people (at least in europe, but maybe more or not all europeans) will have a DST-switch near end of october, which means that the first interval is already 8769600 (as large as your second).
