You find a pretty good option, but one dangerous question appears: what if the next one is better? This chapter explores the mathematics of knowing when to stop searching. Through the secretary problem, we discover why choosing too early can be a mistake, but waiting too long can be just as costly. The famous approximate 37 percent rule offers an elegant solution under very specific assumptions, although real life quickly complicates them. Apartments, jobs and other choices reveal that searching longer does not always mean choosing better. Sometimes the real mathematical problem is not finding options, but knowing when you have seen enough.
