Time line for choosing best answer?

I thought a best answer could not be picked until at least 4 hours had passed. A question was asked two hours ago, I answered maybe 30 minutes ago and I already was chosen best answer. I'm confused.

    The time line has been changed to 1 hour from 4 but it's still open for 4 days and now you can send a question to early voting after 1 hour if it has 2 answers.

    If there are more than five answers on one question, the asker can choose the best answer within 15minutes, but that only it there are 5+ answers.

    Weird...Maybe it's just that one question or Y!A finally made it shorter. I'll keep an eye out.
