Abstract
Suppose we have three independent copies of a regular diffusion on [0,1] with
absorbing boundaries. Of these diffusions, either at least two are absorbed at the
upper boundary or at least two at the lower boundary. In this way, they determine
a majority decision between 0 and 1. We show that the strategy that always runs
the diffusion whose value is currently between the other two reveals the majority
decision whilst minimising the total time spent running the processes.
