  @WilliamPennanti: if you hover over the time “Answered x ago” on PC, then you’ll be able to see a timestamp in UTC for each answer that you receive. (Or you can sort answers oldest to newest!) I believe Mordechai was the first answerer by a couple of minutes, but as always it’s your choice as to who answers best!
