Default Re: Identifying Your Father

[ QUOTE ]
why are you defining this by a time frame? you could be given 1 year of observation, then still guess wrong.

That is the point. Say you get 1 guess, and your life depends on it.

How long would you have to take to guess? Obv. the longer you wait to guess, the longer you live, but your life consists of sitting in a room all day observing people.

As you weed people out, you can eliminate them from the room, if this would make it easier to observe.
