Johnson was cut on November 22nd, 2011, 12:41 PM... from this moment, the 24-hour waiver period begins. If someone other than the team who's #1 on the waiver order makes a claim, we still have to wait until 12:41pm on 11/23 to make sure no one else puts in a claim.

Once the team who is #1 on the waiver order makes a claim, the player is IMMEDIATELY sold. In this case, your claim came in on... November 22nd, 2011, 11:27 PM. From this moment on, the 24-hour compliance clock begins. You needed to be all honkey-dorey by 11:27pm EST on November 23.

Make sense?

Since you brought it up I'll have to disagree. The rules clearly state IMO that players stay on waivers for 24 regardless of who claims them.

The Waiver Wire
Each player waived will be placed on the waiver wire for a period of 24 hours during In Season Free Agency, and 72 hours during Off Season Free Agency. During this period, each team will have the opportunity to claim the waived player and assume his current contract without the player reaching Free Agency. During the appropriate waiver wire period, each interested team must post in the origional "cut thread" indicating their intention to claim said player. At the end of the waiver wire period, the team with the highest current waiver priority (as defined later) will assume the players current contract. The claiming team will have the standard 24 hours from the time of the claim to make room on their roster, before Roster Penalties will be enforced. In that case, the team with the second highest waiver priority will assume the players contract. If no teams make a claim for a waiver player within the waiver period, the player is considered an Unrestricted Free Agent.

Seems pretty straight forward to me. Doesn't mention ending the 24 hours period early if the #1 team claims the player.
