So that means, that all you need is their UID, and for each subsequent page hit, for a particular test, the test choice to show them is deterministic. But, where does the even distribution of test choices come from? The hash or UID or the combo of the two?
MD5 hashes mod a small number can be assumed to be randomly distributed. Hypothetically assuming I had evidence to the contrary, I would shortly be very famous in some circles. Practical results bears the expectation out.
