Ok retry,
Woke up and walked trough al the calculations again to see if there were any errors and it looks there all gone now.
- The remaining time is a theoretical limit, with impossible 8x3h/24*1h production per day
- It is more of a proof of concept to show the difference between different values in the chapter. and therefore give a feeling whats the "fastest" way to play the chapter, I do not expect anyone to be actually this fast ever!!!!!
- I assume everyone is using portal profits where possible at this stage in the game.
- Beer festival (oktoberfest my sheet joke) and tea houses are not calculated in the time value, instead you see the total amount of productions you need to combined with the amount of buildings you use you can calculate that part yourself.

* This one had me puzzled for a while, At level 3 embassy's they become slightly less efficient with draft laws leading to an increase of senate time without a BTG.
When a BTG is used it's improved production value does make it more efficient to upgrade the embassies, this is an oddball in the production process.

Here it shows that in the end it makes sense to upgrade your level 2 embassies also without a BTG, as in this stage it does make a difference.
Upgrading your embassies to level 4 doesn't seem to maken any sense as the upgrade times are longer than the reduced
24h upgrade for a 8-20h reduction in production time.
