The job interview version: If you are being interviewed for a position by engineers who have their employee ids (serially allocated) on their badge find the number of employees from those ids assuming all engineers are equally likely to be on the panel of 8.
- carlmr 7y agoI would guess that the likelihood of older employees should be higher. Although I've never seen a panel of 8 at a job interview.

- chiph 7y agoI have looked at my payroll check numbers from contracting firms to see how they're doing as a business. If the interval between check numbers drops in a month, I have a good idea that there aren't as many people working there anymore.

- breakingcups 7y agoInvoice numbers have to be sequential where I live.
- kgwgk 7y agoBut, in some places at least, you can choose to start at 32.
