Questions regarding variants of the Secretary Problem #1

Description

@BradKML

This repository looks similar to https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/dating-theory but with more flexibility and FOSSness. However it is known that this suffers from a few problem:

  • Given X people and you want the Top Y (instead of Top 1) results, what is the optimal sampling point?
  • Given X amount of time, when should one start to settle for the next option as hopefully the top Y% of the available option?
