Umh... I understand they want to prepare the closest possible amount
of food. But given (right?) we are eating in a buffet style, getting
the exact numbers is not only impossible but will also result in no
real difference. I'd like them to agree we cannot give a maybe better
than 10% (about 20 people) error margin. Just as we cannot say that
most people will eat only one course or stand up to get their food
three times.
