How is the "Asked by..." time calculated?
I've noticed several times that questions in the question list have an"Asked by..." time of a few seconds ago, but answers are 6 hours or more old.
Do the answerers have the gift of foreknowledge, or is there a glitch in the system?

I have seen the asked by times in minus figures - essentially asked in the future.
god knows how they calculate them.
