    Just to bring the new devs up to speed it would take 2 weeks at best.. And in that time someone would have to stop working to explain things to them..

    Boss: "the client said he would pay $15,000 for us to get it done in 2 months, but would pay $16,000 instead to do it in one month"
    Me: "So we have a month to do a 2 month project?"
    Boss: "You have until next Tuesday."

    If more people means more time, then fewer people should mean fewer time. Right?

    But 9 women can deliver 9 babies in 9 month. So it's still faster.

    @shellcode but if timing is right you can get a throughput of one baby per month.

    @Shago I think you guys are missing the test case where 1 pregnancy results in multiple babies (twins, triplets etc)...

    @ReturnVoid that's in fact possible but they would only be available after 9 months or so. The problem wasn't the number of projects to be delivered but the timings

    @shellcode induce premature labor? Give them fertility drugs AND tell then to smoke?

    @shellcode in the end it's a baby per month but with each baby delivery at the end of the year.
