8. Optimal Tip-to-tip: Efficiency

To eliminate geometry penalties, the audience must be sorted first by leg length , then by shaft length , and finally by girth .

Mismatches here disrupt the "tip-to-tip" alignment. Girth: Variations affect "shaft-to-shaft" techniques. 8. Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency

Efficiency is penalized by physical "mismatches" between individuals. The model identifies several critical variables: To eliminate geometry penalties, the audience must be

Using one hand to stimulate two shafts simultaneously, forming a "bridge". To eliminate geometry penalties

The "Optimal" strategy moves away from a naive one-at-a-time approach, which leads to "increasingly flaccid performance" as audience diversity grows. Instead, it proposes:

Arranging individuals "tip-to-tip" to allow for a four-at-a-time stimulation rate per person (using both hands to bridge two pairs).

💡 The "Weissman Score"—a fictional but influential metric for data compression mentioned in the same context—highlights that complex system efficiency often relies more on preparation and sorting than on the raw speed of the individual components.
