Efficiency problem
Posted by mattcomroe under Jersey City, Matt's Boring Life
So, in the basement of the building there are laundry facilities. Two washing machines next to two dryers. Here is what I wonder. When both loads of wash are done, is it more efficient to:
- take the wet clothes from each washer and move one step right to put the clothes in the dryers, or
- take the farthest left washer and take two steps to put its clothes in the farthest right dryer, and then when you do the other washer you don’t have to move at all and just sling handfuls of clothes into the dryer right next to it?

I think option 2 is more efficient. You are only moving two steps over w/one set of clothes. Less leg work.
