Odd Is Honest

Sorting a Depot's Weekly Timesheets by Roundness and Lateness, and Paying Overtime from the Odd Ones

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities sorts 912 weekly timesheets from a plumbing-supplies depot into a four-cell grid of round or odd hours, entered the same day or later, and reports that once overtime was paid without query from the odd, same-day cell alone, that cell grew from 11% to 63% of the weekly stack, with 58% of same-day entries stamped within two minutes of five o'clock.
