The Secretary Problem

I've been obsessed with the Secretary Problem since I first heard about it. I even wrote about it over 7 years ago, when I used it to fashion a lab exercise in one of my classes.

Here is a nice old article (1989) "Who Solved the Secretary Problem" by Thomas Ferguson. If that link doesn't work, here is the stable url from JSTOR. It allows you to read up to six articles per month without any subscription.
