Money in Jar
A group needs to estimate the value of coins in a glass jar. All the jars contain $10 plus or minus few cents. Estimators are asked to estimate the value of coins and all estimates need to be approved by an approver.
Estimators are rewarded for high estimates. Approvers are also rewarded as percentage of estimator's estimated amount.
Now the estimators are divided in 2 groups - they differ in only aspect i.e. high estimation change is either abrupt or slow.
How likely is the approver going to reject the estimate in Abrupt or Slow group?
