As I said in the meeting I see no reason to do some
complicated
procedure including a hash before doing 'mod 2' and picking the winner
when we could just do 'mod 2' on the value of the first ball for a fair
tie break.> The only reason anyone brought up so far is "we made this mistake in
the
past already" which seems like a bad reason to do it again.
it sounds overkill for a tie of 2. But this solution can be easily
extended in cases where we have a tie of more than 2 applicants, or more
than 1 seat. The hash has enough bytes to resolve multiple. I will
document this on our Wiki soon as well.
