What is the optimum size of a team in a project
So that if we add more members , they do not contribute productivity
equivalent to the percentage increase in the staff size ?
AND WHY ?

You and me decide to play a game.
Starting with me,
we placed a "+" or "-" sign in front of any number from 1 to 20
1, 2, 3...18, 19, 20
After all 20 numbers have been signed,
I will pay* you in dollars, Math.Abs(value of the sum)
So you have to tell me the best strategy to make the maximum amount of money when the game ends
example i put a "+ sign before 3
1, 2, 3...18, 19, 20
becomes
1, 2, +3...18, 19, 20
then its your chance you put a minus sign before say 15
1, 2, +3...18, 19, 20
becomes
1, 2, +3..-15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
again its my chance
And so on...
So guys if you want your name in the print, here is your chance
* disclaimer: No actual money involved, Come on be a sport

okay it depends who goes first.
If you go first - then I should use the same symbol as you with the largest number available and continue to use that symbol thereafter with the largest number available.
If I go first then I should choose a symbol and place that in front of the largest symbol and again continue to use that symbol thereafter.
Assuming that we are placing strategically i.e. you are trying to minimise the magnitude on every move and I am trying to increase it.
Then we have the following minimum wins to me
you first
+1+20-19+18-17+16-15+14-13+12-11+10-9+8-7+6-5+4-3+2 = 12
me first
+20-19+18-17+16-15+14-13+12-11+10-9+8-7+6-5+4-3+2-1 = 10
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. - pTerrywww.many-monkeys.com
