Description
Simple though it may sound, it is a bugger to understand. It may be a tool, it may on the other hand also be an explanation. Why not beat the crap out of it anyway?

Combat Messages
Initiative Message(s)
- A whole flock of applicants for a secretarial position begin pestering you to decide which one is best suited for the job. While they're distracted, you get the jump.
- You stumble over a chessboard and fall face-first onto the eight queens riveted onto it. Funny, none of them share the same row, column or diagonal. On a side note: your opponent gets the jump.
Successful Attack
- It bashes you repeatedly for X DAMAGE. There is no optimal stopping!
- You are hit by a bunch of secretaries sequentially on random body parts, with each order being equally likely. OUCH! X DAMAGE!
- Out of nowhere a monkey sudenly shambles up to you, bashing you with a bunch of bananas for X DAMAGE!
Miss Message(s)
- Several secretaries attempt to hit you sequentially on random body parts, but step on each others toes before reaching you.
- The eight queens are currently busy with arguing among each other.
- A couple of secretaries have wandered off and are busily inspecting their fingernails.
- Suddenly a monkey comes along, pushing a box. It ignores you completely.

Notes
- Quoted from wikipedia: A toy problem is a problem that is not of immediate scientific interest, yet is used as an expository device to illustrate a trait that may be shared by other, more complicated, instances of the problem, or as a way to explain a particular, more general, problem solving technique.
- The messages are logical references to either the Secretary Problem, Eight queens puzzle, or the Monkey and banana problem.
- Optimal stopping is the action of mathematically ending a random sequential sequence that would yield you the best result for the answer you are seeking.
