I do feel that it is a bit unfair (I'm Day 3), but you have to remember that people were in different time zones and are of all different ages. The later days, with a time that was much better for Americans and questions that were much easier for young children to figure out, were not aimed at older teens and adults. They may have thought their question was just as difficult for them as the ones we got were for us. The young kids weren't staying up all night, but they are just as much Harry Potter fans as those who did

We should just be happy that we're getting in early at all. I'm super disappointed I'm not in the first group, but I know that when I do get in, it'll be worth the wait.
Yes, I've read this too. And while it does seem a bit unfair it does make a lot of sense. There's always the chance that some of the beta readers won't be able to log on during the testing weeks - health, time, internet access, etc. - so it is logical to get as wide a range of statistics as possible in each Welcome group.
