Suppose That You Work at a Local Convenience Store

Short Answer

Suppose that you work at a local convenience store. The store has just closed and you and one other co-worker must complete a list of tasks before any of you can leave for the night. Each task may only be worked on by one person. What is the optimal amount of time that it will take to complete the list of tasks knowing that all tasks are independent from one another? Hint: You are guaranteed that a
project finish time is optimal if there is zero idle time.
