Talk:Wait/walk dilemma

Is this article really needed?

There needs to be either more information about the game, the derivation of the principles, or something. This reads like a shameless self-plug as opposed to something you'd find in a encyclopedia.

Dubious conclusion

edit

OK, I'm a software engineer, not a mathematician. But it seems obvious to me that:

  • Given a trans-continental bus journey that would take many weeks to walk it's going to be worth waiting a long time for the bus
  • Given a short journey and an infrequent bus service it's always better to walk. A 2 minute walk is sure to be less than the wait.

All this of course ignores the benefits of exercise   Number774 (talk) 11:34, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
