The whole point of this interview is that the candidate is operating on a single-threaded environment.

These are multiple assumptions "This queue is only on one machine and on one thread", what's the real world use-case here? Not saying there's none but make it clear. I wouldn't want to work for a company that has to think of some random precise question instead of e.g. "when would you not use mysql?"
