For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some 'organic element' since I couldn't accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

    Aren't they arriving slightly slower than can be served, according to these numbers:

    If one customer takes 10 minutes to serve, you can serve 6 customers in an hour

    and you get 5.8 customers every hour, which is less than 6

    So you serve 6 customers, meaning you have a leftover capacity of 0.2 per hour or 1 extra customer every 5 hours

    Maybe the numbers are switched over or I am misunderstanding something

    Edit: nevermind, read the link in the thread and realised I treated the average as the actual serving time and I'm guessing that's what makes it non intuitive. I'm still not entirely clear on how it works.
