Prediction: people who aren't Harry can use the stone once every 216 seconds (3:36).

(The idea being that the rule is "400 times a day" and Harry has a 26hr day.)

Harry's sleep cycle has been adjusted to a 30-hour day in Chapter 65, in the same way that Dumbledore had previously adjusted it to a 26-hour day.

Why is Harry special? His sleep cycle? Anybody can use a time turner.

That is a very interesting suggestion. What probability do you assign to it?
