Say we have both of the resulting arrays, but do not know who generated each one. \
 | 
			
		||||
We would like to guess which of the two was generated by Bob. \
 | 
			
		||||
What is the optimal strategy, and what is its probability of guessing correctly?
 | 
			
		||||
- Say we assign the array with the smallest mean to Alice. \
 | 
			
		||||
  What is our probability of guessing correctly?
 | 
			
		||||
- How often do we guess correctly if we instead assign \
 | 
			
		||||
  the array with the smaller _minimum_ to Alice?
