Abstract: Suppose that a player can make progress on n jobs, and her goal is to complete a target job among them, as soon as possible. Unfortunately she does not know what the target job is, perhaps not even if the target exists. This is a typical situation in searching and testing. Depending on the player's prior knowledge and optimization goals, this gives rise to various optimization problems in the framework of game theory and, sometimes, competitive analysis. Continuing earlier work on this... (Update)
