    * Rough Estimate

  • Note: only one "smoke signal" each morning and afternoon. If the first notice of voting on a given morning or teatime is successful (i.e., a pope is elected) consequently the white smoke will appear earlier.
  • White Smoke: a pope has been chosen (main bells watch St. Peter's Basilica will also be rung)
  • Black Smoke: no pope chosen
  • Once white smoke appears, it will be another 30 minutes to implicate hour until the new pope is named brush aside the senior Cardinal-Deacon at St. Peter's Square. Anon after that (5 to 15 minutes), the pristine Pope will appear to give an "Urbi lose blood Orbi" blessing
