Talk:Linear search problem

it is not clear why the very relevant material that I wrote was deleted (actually during my editing process) Shuroo


 * Sorry, I probably should have been clearer in my edit summary. As it turned out, some of the text seemed to be copied verbatim from a paper, in other words, a copyright violation (often referred to as a "copyvio"). As this is something we take very seriously, I chose the defensive approach, to remove all the text. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. decltype (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I think the distinction between "min-mean" and "min-max" needs to be cleanly addressed. Specifically, none of the work in the last paragraph is relevant to the problem as stated: "... minimum expected time." These are major results for "search games" but that already has its own page.Tom3118 (talk) 17:04, 2 November 2010 (UTC) P.S. I'd welcome any email/usertalk from the other contributors to this page as I am working on original scholarship.
