Thanks Henry.
Presumably the stochastic variable X denoting the time before *one*
aethereal LCG-competent idle Grid monkey condenses follows the
exponential distribution.
If we estimate the parameter, we can calculate the distribution of
two appearing. Unfortunately the exponential distribution parameter
is probably quite small, leading to a large E(X).
I wonder if we could loan you one of those, I mean Grid monkey. Not at
the moment I am afraid.
Cheers,

I'll probably not be able to make this, so:
Brunel status: Classic SE still OK. Expect to move to DPM, but not until
mid-November, (no dates till I see what's happening with 2.7.0).
Let p be the probability of _two_ competent LCG-familiar Grid-monkeys
spontaneously condensing from the aether at Brunel University, needing
something to do.
Then p is the odds of the above status changing before mid-November :(
