    Some people prefer routine work that doesn't change day-to-day, while others get a rush from confronting new challenges. Whatever your preference, employment trends show that more people than ever ...

  3. No free lunch in search and optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_in_search...

    The problem is to rapidly find a solution among candidates a, b, and c that is as good as any other, where goodness is either 0 or 1. There are eight instances ("lunch plates") fxyz of the problem, where x, y, and z indicate the goodness of a, b, and c, respectively. Procedure ("restaurant") A evaluates candidates in the order a, b, c, and B ...

  4. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

    The question is whether or not, for all problems for which an algorithm can verify a given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time), an algorithm can also find that solution quickly. Since the former describes the class of problems termed NP, while the latter describes P, the question is equivalent to asking whether all problems in NP are ...

  5. Analysis paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis

    Analysis paralysis is a critical problem in athletics. It can be explained in simple terms as "failure to react in response to overthought". A victim of sporting analysis paralysis will frequently think in complicated terms of "what to do next" while contemplating the variety of possibilities, and in doing so exhausts the available time in which to act.

  6. Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_paradox_of_the...

    One solution is to convert each arrival's address into a binary number in which ones are used as separators at the start of each layer, while a number within a given layer (such as a guest's coach number) is represented with that many zeroes. Thus, a guest with the prior address 2-5-1-3-1 (five infinite layers) would go to room ...

  8. Nirvana fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

    It can also refer to the tendency to assume there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the "perfect solution fallacy". By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely unrealistic—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack ...

  9. n-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-body_problem

    For every solution of the problem, not only applying an isometry or a time shift but also a reversal of time (unlike in the case of friction) gives a solution as well. [ citation needed ] In the physical literature about the n -body problem ( n ≥ 3 ), sometimes reference is made to "the impossibility of solving the n -body problem" (via ...
