In a click farm, computers breakdown at an average of 5 machines per hour according to a Poisson distribution. The computers aren't repaired, the technician simply unplugs the keyboard and monitor and slides a new disposable computer in its place. The downtime for each breakdown is ten minutes.


When the tech is not working on a computer, he is encouraged to engage in clicking to help his colleagues. If he can click a mouse once per second, how many clicks can he get in during one hour when he is not burdened by his tech support duties?

P0=0.16666, so ten minutes out of an hour, 600 seconds, which is 600 clicks.
