How many engineers does it take to arrange a group photo? All of them. First everyone suggests all possible ideas for lighting, arrangement of people, location. Then everyone argues about the order in which to try all specified permutations, then the camera is accidentally set on 'auto' and takes 40 pictures of everyone arguing. 45 minutes later we had 100 photos of the team, the probability of having taken a good photo finally approaching 1.
