They're buns.

[Harvonsgard]

Awesome.

As much as I love GIFs, they're low-effort.

[Harvonsgard]

Effort is the refuge of talentless plebeians.

[theCapraAegagrus]

Takes 0 talent to display someone else's work.

[Harvonsgard]

Takes zero talent to make pointless posts .

[GandalfPC]

I don't think that the Hatfield/McCoy feud went on this long

[Harvonsgard]

Definitely not longer than this thread.

[theCapraAegagrus]

Takes zero talent to make pointless posts .

Concise irony.

[Harvonsgard]

Isn't it?

Vrana re-signed for 3 years @ $5.25 million AAV. Washington can suck it.

The following caught my eye from the main page. Does anyone know why and what was going down in our UC club that we had so many active uses that day>

A lot of search engine bots?

Alice and Bob can complete a job in 2 hours.

Alice and Charlie can complete the same job in 3 hours.

Bob and Charlie can complete the same job in 4 hours.

How long will the job take if Alice, Bob, and Charlie work together?

Assume each person works at a constant rate, whether working alone or working with others.

[Harvonsgard]

Almost as long as it took me to solve the riddle = 111 minutes.

[theCapraAegagrus]

They clearly distract each other at different rates, so doing so all at the same time means that they'll need 4-1/2 hours to complete a job together.

[Harvonsgard]

I'm surprised to see you as part of the there-is-no-wrong-result-math crowd.

[theCapraAegagrus]

It's unclear to me whether or not this is A + B + C = Time, or Handicap - A - B - C.

[Harvonsgard]

Assume each person works at a constant rate, whether working alone or working with others.

[theCapraAegagrus]

Assume each person works at a constant rate, whether working alone or working with others.

I understand that Alice works 3 times harder than Bob and 5 times harder than Charlie. That's about it.

These are hypothetical people dammit. Human beings. Have some hypothetical humanity.

The question fails to mention cultural context, work environment, nature of the task, and of course dynamics between the three which will impact upon any potential diminishing margin return of effort and task completion rate. Also, bearing in mind systems theory, which posits that synergistically the whole is different to the sum of the parts (a la Gestalt and Field Theory) then one cannot existentially (I.e. phenomenologically rather than intellectually) accurately predict the length the job will take. People are fickle beings, easily distracted and prone to acting impulsively and excitedly.

I say it takes as long as it takes and/or perhaps it just all goes to shit when they get together and find out that they’ve been cheating on each other with the other one, and the job does certainly not get done. Also we all know Alice is working harder than Bob. Always. Feckin’ Bob.
