Q:

Iam looking to estimate the cost on a project, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on a  detailed analysis. I really want a ballpark figure. What options do I have?

A) None - Cost estimating requires details to be accurate B) Use the cost of similar projects
C) Use a rule-of-thumb or per-square-foot estimate D) Add up the costs on the WBS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Use the cost of similar projects

Explanation:

Although it is less accurate than adding up individual costs from the WBS, it is less time consuming. The trade-off is accuracy. Answer A is incorrect because to do a more accurate cost estimate, you need to delve into details. Answer C is tempting also, and possible, except we don't really know if the project in question can use perametric modeling . Answer D is incorrect because it takes the most time, but it is most accurate.

Q:

Logical puzzle

At a restaurant, how could you choose one out of three desserts with equal probability with the help of a coin? What if the coin is biased and the bias is unknown?

Answer

Our solution:


Toss the coin twice.
Let TH, HT and TT correspond to the three choices.
And if you get HH, just repeat (so it takes 8/3 tosses on average).


BIASED COIN

If the coin was biased, TH and HT would occur with equal probability.
So you could assign THHT, HTTH and THTH to the three choices, with other 4-toss outcomes rejected.
Or you could assign HTT, THT and TTH to the three choices, with other 3-toss outcomes rejected.
