No, there was a full plot spoiler on a book that hadn't completed it's opening day yet. At least I THINK it was released at midnight local time, which happens twenty-four times (more or less, let's ignore time zone abberations). For the sake of argument, say it was noon Central Time when I read it. That's six hours from Greenwich, right? Hence, at least six time zones/hours from midnight anywhere. Hence, at least six hours ahead of schedule. A spoiler, then.

And please don't deluge me with the calculations. I'm really not that interested.
