Lynn’s acceptance is effective when she decides to accept. By the time she decided to accept the offer, there was already meeting of the minds between Paul and Lynn. Therefore, the acceptance of Lynn is effective from the time she decided to herself that she would accept the offer regardless of the time when the acceptance was received by the other party.
