Padron e sotta

"Padron e sotta"(Master and servant) is a southern italian, card based, drinking game. In every game the one who gets the higher score is the Padron, the second higher score is the Sotta.

The Padron has to make invitation and the Sotta has to accept or decline, making some people drink and other no, forming teams.

Padron - "A glass of beer to Aldo and two to Stefano"
Sotta - "No"
Padron - "A glass to you and one to Aldo"
Sotta - "Yes"

The game ends when everyone has drank at least a glass (usually of beer, wine in the old days), or when

the number of rounds prearranged is reached. A round ends when everyone has been the dealer.

The person who hasn't drank for the whole game is called "Urm" and will be mocked for the rest of the evening. (for the rest of his life if the game was really competitive)

Scotty Principle

(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.

The premise is simple:

1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.

2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.

3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.

4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting.
The following situation is a simulation of the Scotty Principle in practice.

Kirk: "The ship seems sluggish today. When was the last time you did a tune-up on the warp drive?"

Scotty: "Aye, sir. She's due. Last maintenance was 56 days ago."

Kirk: (light chuckle) "Well, what are you waiting for? An ambush from cloaked Romulans?"

Scotty: "I'll need to check how much dilithium we have in supply, but she'll be better than new in no time."

Kirk: "And that will be...?"

Scotty: "Six hours."

--- four hours later ---

Scotty: "All done, sir. Care to test her out?"

--- Enterprise taken rapidly to warp 3, does a few doughnuts, comes to a smooth stop ---

Kirk: "Scotty, there's no finer engineer in this quadrant!"
