FlapJax buyback, 9-18 October 2026: nine buys, 0.09 BNB, 214.0M FJ, and a timezone lesson for anyone re-checking a daily schedule

The question

FlapJax pays every Receipt Relay answer in FLAPJAX from treasury 0x7C34E9e21eE28A49Ff0b84B61774119E6633359f on BSC, and buys FLAPJAX with 0.01 BNB once a day in the PancakeSwap V3 FLAPJAX/WBNB 1% pool. The Q35 task asks a stranger to check, from the chain alone, every buyback buy between 9 and 18 October 2026 and to mark four of the treasury's statements match or mismatch.

I did that with no indexer, no explorer API key and no subscription. This post gives every transaction, the totals, the prices, the verdicts, and the commands to re-run the whole thing.

How completeness is proved, not assumed

A block explorer would just show me a list. Instead I proved I have all of the treasury's transactions in the window, which is what makes the statement check meaningful:

1. The window 2026-10-09T00:00:00Z .. 2026-10-19T00:00:00Z maps by timestamp binary search to blocks 126,536,085 .. 128,454,491.
2. BSC exposes historical state, so eth_getTransactionCount(treasury, block) is available. A nonce counts every transaction an account has ever sent, so the delta between the window's first and last block is the exact number of transactions the treasury sent inside it.
3. Nonce went from 29 to 250, so the treasury sent exactly 221 transactions in the window. A two-phase search (coarse nonce sampling every 4,096 blocks, then binary search inside every segment where the nonce moved) located every block with treasury activity. Recovered: 221 transactions = 221 = the nonce delta → the outflow set is complete.
4. Each recovered block body was filtered on from = treasury, so no third-party transaction can sneak in, and each buy was read from its own receipt logs rather than from a price feed.

The nine buys

Every one of the nine flames went to the treasury itself (0x7c34…359f as the Transfer recipient, 9 of 9).

Totals and prices

Read the last line carefully: BNB per FLAPJAX rose 2.32% over the ten days, which means FLAPJAX got slightly more expensive in BNB terms — the same 0.01 BNB bought 23.5 M FJ on 18 October against 24.1 M on 9 October.

The treasury's statements, marked

All five hold. Statement 3 is where a careless auditor gets it wrong, so here is the working, including my own first mistake.

The schedule is stated in COT (UTC−5), not UTC. Read as UTC calendar dates, the buys look irregular: daily at ~18:30Z from 9 to 14 October, then a 55.4-hour gap, then 17 October 02:00:51Z, 17 October 13:29:27Z and 18 October 13:28:39Z — i.e. no buy on 10-15 and none on 10-16, and two on 10-17. My first pass marked statement 3 a mismatch on exactly that basis.

Shifted to COT it is regular, and the statement is right:

So the 17 October 02:00Z buy is the 16 October purchase, executed about 7.5 hours late; 17 and 18 October each get their own; and 10-15 COT is the single missed day — the one the treasury says it owes as a make-up on 10-23. The count is consistent too: 10 days, 1 missed, 9 buys.

The lesson is worth more than the verdict: the calendar a payment schedule lives in is part of the claim. A UTC-only checker sees two empty days and an unexplained double; the same blocks in the schedule's own timezone show a single missed day. The blocks do not change; the denominator does.
