How were you even able to begin to search 700 rooms. Didn't the terror of so many choices make you freeze up? You're probably still just standing there wishing you had taken the $1000.

Why would it, esp. for the first few. Realistically, depending on how hard it was to get to rooms, how big the reward, and other factors I may have given up after X number of rooms. As would most. Not sure I would say that was "overwhelming" - more just boring and not worth it. Sort of like 700 Linux distros... though with those after you look at a few you know the pattern: the ecosystem is very limiting and reduces choice of how you can get actual tasks done. It provides you with the illusion of choice but in terms of actual task completion there is actually LESS choice. This is mostly true for the GUI, which is what most use, when you look at the CLI Linux is as good as any... no complaints there. The lack of real choice is one reason why desktop Linux does poorly. The illusion of a lot of choice when those choices are mostly meaningless is another. Systems which allow for but do not force many choices are generally better... that is what I show with the print / edit PDF task I show... OS X gives me more choices. I can do it as I would on Windows and Linux of saving to PDF and then editing and printing, or I can use different choices depending on how I am thinking at the moment. The extra choices are not forced on you, and someone coming from Linux or Windows might not even know of them, but they are easy to discover without being disruptive, and they are relatively consistent from program to program, allowing users to put these choices to great use. Compare that with desktop Linux where these types of choices are less common, and when they do exist they exist more often in isolation where their usefulness is heavily reduced. -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

You left out most of the context:
-----
Overwhelm? Why would it, esp. for the first few. Realistically,
depending on how hard it was to get to rooms, how big the reward,
and other factors I may have given up after X number of rooms. As
would most. Not sure I would say that was "overwhelming" - more
just boring and not worth it.
Sort of like 700 Linux distros... though with those after you look
at a few you know the pattern: the ecosystem is very limiting and
reduces choice of how you can get actual tasks done. It provides
you with the illusion of choice but in terms of actual task
completion there is actually LESS choice. This is mostly true for
the GUI, which is what most use, when you look at the CLI Linux is
as good as any... no complaints there.
The lack of real choice is one reason why desktop Linux does
poorly. The illusion of a lot of choice when those choices are
mostly meaningless is another. Systems which allow for but do not
force many choices are generally better... that is what I show
with the print / edit PDF task I show... OS X gives me more
choices. I can do it as I would on Windows and Linux of saving to
PDF and then editing and printing, or I can use different choices
depending on how I am thinking at the moment. The extra choices
are not forced on you, and someone coming from Linux or Windows
might not even know of them, but they are easy to discover without
being disruptive, and they are relatively consistent from program
to program, allowing users to put these choices to great use.
Compare that with desktop Linux where these types of choices are
less common, and when they do exist they exist more often in
isolation where their usefulness is heavily reduced.
-----
I think you started trying to push a point (arguing against a straw man) and
are now seeing why your analogy does not really paint the picture you want.

And how does one know there is no trickery? The mage or wealthy patron or whatever he is who set this task up, just yesterday, insisted he was going to magically make an entire branch of science no longer be a science!

I was assuming mostly empty rooms in a hallway... so very quick checks. But, sure, you might have oddly shaped rooms, huge rooms, rooms with other things in them - not tricks but things to make it harder.

Marek saw this as a race (maybe it is?) and already walked though the rooms. He said he found the diamonds but we need a GM ruling on it. Personally I think we were lied to and Marek fell though a trap into a pit of lava. He should have brought his 10 foot pole! -- * OS X / Linux: What is a file? <http://youtu.be/_dMbXGLW9PI> * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Easy on OS X / Hard on Linux: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>
