We got rejected, it's now a bummer because we really dreamed of going to California. Now we have to do it ourselves and I believe that if you can't bring up the motivation to do it without YC, you will even have had a hard time at YC. --> JK Rowling got rejected lots of times, not a lot of publishers wanted to publish her book. Sylvester Stallone had a hard time bringing Rocky to a succes and so on... So, I believe rejection is not fatal for our app! I wish you all the best of luck with your startups, with or without YC! :)

From the Netherlands. In a new startup (app).
I let my co-founder call a person called Mr. de Leeuw (very common name in The Netherlands, translated Mr Lion)and gave him the number of the zoo. Was very funny, because he didn't noticed the date and really asked for Mr. de Leeuw. (Mr. Lion). I'll expect some payback from him now. Old Joke.. but still very funny!
Practical question: Are we supposed to submit only one form per group or multiple? Because the introductory explanation talks about a group submission, but on the form itself there are fields that are explicitly personal: e.g. "Please tell us about the time you, fedor91, most successfully hacked..."
Addendum: If there are any noob mistakes you want to point out, I'd very much appreciate it because it's the first time we're applying.
You've got a point there!
I would work on my new startup 24/7!
Maybe the law isn't the most important thing here. I think that Facebook has to act like a grown up and think in an ethical way about this. It's just immoral to use children their images in adds. And I don't think that this fits Zuckerbergs original intentions when he started Facebook.
