Re: [Phys-L] widget rate puzzle ... reasoning, scaling, et cetera



It takes 5 minutes for 5 machines to make 5 widgets.
So, how many machines does it take to make 100
widgets in 100 minutes?

On 01/01/2015 02:53 PM, Scott Orshan argued convincingly that
there is no finite upper bound on the time to make 100 widgets.

Would anybody care to discuss the lower end? Is there a
plausible scenario where it takes less than 5 minutes?
Is there a provable lower bound greater than zero?
