Strange architecture. They clearly have a queue, but instead of checking previous request, they create a new one. It's like they managed to get the worst of pub/sub and task queue.

As comment above [1] pointed out `printOperation(2)` is still valid.

Yuri Kondratyuk - Soviet engineer and mathematician, who developed the first known lunar orbit rendezvous. In 1927 he built a 13,000 ton wooden grain elevator without a single nail. The lack of nails in the structure was used as evidence that he had planned it to collapse. Convicted of "anti-Soviet activity", Kondratyuk was sentenced to three years in a GULag.
The building stood 60 years before burning down in middle 1990.
