How should you make decisions in an uncertain world, in which you can change your mind later? Suppose there are several tokens taking random walks, and you one of them to reach a target state ASAP. You can choose any token to take a move, and if you don't like where it goes, switch to another one. Amazingly, there's an efficiently-calculable strategy for optimal play. Joint work with Ioana Dumitriu and Prasad Tetali, based on great stuff from John Gittins and Richard Weber.
