Default Re: Even Cooler Problem Involving e

I'm guessing about 30% of the time and it doesn't matter how many girls. If you let 20-50% of them go by then take the 1st better-then-the-group one.

The times you haven't let the best slip through, you are protected by chances of the 2nd best being in the 1st group , or the 3rd best, etc which drags you into the winning 30% range.

very rough in-my-head calcs 'guess'.
