You've only gotta find 3 more to hit that 50%, and you get 9x as many tries as it took you to find the original 5. I like those odds, shrug.

Ahh I did the math wrong. I agree now the initial premise is a little silly. Although, don't discount that it will take you 9x the amount of time to spend those resources. So this is going from a 1 year search to a 9 year search. Or, you're building a team and trusting other people, which scales better long term, but not in the short term.
