📝 Description

The secretary theorem, explored in computer science, discusses the optimal time to interview candidates (secretaries in the original problem) and decide when to hire one. The theorem suggests that about a third of the way through the pool of candidates, you should have a sense of what the bar is and hire anyone who meets or exceeds that bar.
