- jacquesm 9y agoA week is insane speed for that quantity. That's day-and-night work.
- munificent 9y agoNot that bad. Usually a couple of hours in the evening after the kids went to bed for a couple of weeks.
- jacquesm 9y agoDid you use any sieves or other tricks to speed it up?
- munificent 9y agoNope. Spread it all out on a bedsheet and worked my way through the pile. I did (roughly) one category of piece at a time, starting with the bigger pieces.
- jacquesm 9y agoEven more impressive. Large to small is exactly the right way to do it. You seem to have thought through the problem for a bit before embarking on it, almost every choice you made is optimal or near optimal to get this done in an acceptable time. It's interesting how much you learn about how our minds work by doing a job like this. All kinds of insights into color discrimination, shape recognition and so on, as well as how much of a job gets pushed down to our subconscious once we've done enough of it.
