    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"> A manager went to the Master Programmer and showed him the
    requirements
    document for a new application. The manager
    asked the
    Master: "How long will it take to design this system if I
    assign five
    programmers to it?"

    "It will take one year," said the Master promptly.

    "But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How
    long will it
    take if I assign ten programmers to it?"

    The Master Programmer frowned. "In that case, it will take
    two
    years."

    "And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?"

    The Master Programmer shrugged. "Then the design will
    never be
    completed," he said.
