Answer 1

If you're working from a programming language and not directly querying the server, you could dynamically construct a query for the union of the 'Limit 10' or 'Top 10' for each day. Not incredibly efficient, but it would at least work and be easy to debug and modify later. You could even create the query dynamically via an SP in the server and work straight from there.
