For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

Aren’t they arriving slightly slower than can be served, according to these numbers:
If one customer takes 10 minutes to serve, you can serve 6 customers in an hour
and you get 5.8 customers every hour, which is less than 6
So you serve 6 customers, meaning you have a leftover capacity of 0.2 per hour or 1 extra customer every 5 hours
Maybe the numbers are switched over or I am misunderstanding something
Edit: nevermind, read the link in the thread and realised I treated the average as the actual serving time and I’m guessing that’s what makes it non intuitive. I’m still not entirely clear on how it works.

Also, in this simulation are the customers arriving in equally spaced intervals or is random arrival time within the bounds assumed?
In the linked article they are arriving randomly. It takes 10 minutes per customer and they arrive every 10.3 minutes.
They’re arriving slower than they can be processed. So the line shrinks slowly it there’s a line.
