Hey all,
I submitted my applications. Let us just contemplate about his whole queue design thing. Since I expect not all of you are computer experts.
If you entered the "Waiting Room" during 8:20 - 8:30, your spot inside the actual queue that opened around 8:32 and to which you were redirected is completely random. The reasons are as follows:
A) When you enter the waiting room, they assign you a unique ID, which remains active for your entire browser session
B) When you get redirected to the queue, they randomly sort all generated IDs and then give you the index in the resulting sorted set.
=> This means:
C) Your internet connection speed is IRRELEVANT for your place in the queue
D) Your physical location (country, city) and thus "latency" or ping is IRRELEVANT for your place in the queue
E) Your time of arrival in the waiting room is irrelevant, as long as you did arrive before the actual queue opened at 8:32
Your chances of success were about 1:100
