What the times mean
Game-open time is elapsed time after the garden loads, including background and paused time.
In-game minutes counts progress on the garden clock, including Next morning jumps. Ten real minutes of normal clock advancement equals one full garden day (1,440 in-game minutes). Pauses and browser suspension add no clock progress.
Older visits: only normal clock-running time was recorded, so their contribution is converted to garden minutes and excludes unrecorded morning jumps. A ≥ sign marks these incomplete historical totals.
Visits are separate garden loads, not unique people. Zend Garden does not collect names, save contents, IP addresses or persistent visitor identifiers for these figures.
