Suppose life is a multi-armed bandit (general stochastic, to be precise). That is a *solved problem*: the theoretical optimum is to pull whichever arm worked best most recently.

Agree or disagree?

what is the strategy exactly?

reading it literally, it sounds like it would lead to pull one arm, and then repeat the same forever 

i assume there is also some explore component to it

ah got it 

the problem i think would be that the k is potentially infinite, which may result in no optimal strategy being discoverable (no proof, just intuition)

Bad phrasing, but meant Follow-the-Leader - largest observed average so far
