There is some method to the madness, although its mostly luck based on whether you get in early or not.
I had phone tab, 3 browsers on my laptop, 3 browsers on my computer. 7 in total and 1 came in fairly early, the rest took a lot longer. If you're sitting with just 1 tab open you've got basically no chance.
If you can't work from home in front of a computer you're fucked, which doesn't seem right.
