I addressed the different questions issue with "answer(s)". But I guess I need to spell it out for you.

The whole purpose of the quiz is to slow down how quickly the tickets sell, thus giving "real developers" a pool reserved for them based on them having knowledge the average person does not have.

This reservation method would be circumvented in a matter of minutes by people collecting all the correct answers on social media.

Additionally it's pretty reasonable that anyone who wants to come who doesn't themselves know Objective-C probably has a friend who can answer the questions for them in their contacts.

This is an obvious idea which would not work enough better than the current free for all to be worth the effort. That was my point with my one line response, and I thought it was pretty clear originally.

The original commenter addressed your concern about intended audience by saying there would be different tiers of tickets available. But again, this is moot because the whole idea is too flawed to be worthwhile.

I have and nothing in there applies, but congratulations on being super condescending!


You're quite welcome.
