pedantic nitpicking: "People often want to aim for the biggest, most obvious target, and hit it smack in the bull’s eye. Of course with everybody else aiming there as well that makes it very hard to hit."
this makes no sense. the analogy doesn't really work, because no matter how many people are aiming, the difficulty to hit the bullseye is always the same.

- stefs 3y agowell, it does work if interpreted that way, but i think it's not very elegant. something like "smaller slices of cake" would work better, or having to divide a jackpot between a higher number of players.
- rocqua 3y agoI think there is an implicit contest to be closest to center of the bulls-eye. So you want less competition.
