An additional argument for the multiply-then-shift instead of using modulo, is that for most random number generators the high bits are more random than in the low bits. Another approach, if you really want to use modulo, is to execute the

I love it how with the Z3Py solver you just write down a few constraints (rows, columns, 3x3 boxes and the given values) and you immediately get an answer. [0] https://ericpony.github.io/z3py-tutorial/guide-examples.htm

Maybe it just works fast because there still are only a very limited number of users? And will speeds and latencies drop as the airspace gets more saturated?

An indirect approach could be better to communicate the lack of cameras without making people too suspicious. Something like: "We highly value our guests' privacy".
