Indeed, my first thought on seeing all the options was: how could I game this? For example, if I live on the east coast (UTC-5) and select the lowest-cost option (3 hours of use from 1am until 9am for $20), but claim my timezone is the Alaska (UTC-9) I believe I could actually use the service from 5am until 1pm in the east coast. I don't know if that's how it would actually work, but it certainly is confusing. That said, if you look at the academic pricing plans the presentation is much clearer and easier to understand.
